House Republicans Plan Major Medicaid Cuts
A Politico report reveals a House Republican budget proposal including $5.7 trillion in cuts over ten years. Key targets include Medicaid, with plans to “equalize payments” and impose “per capita caps,” potentially eliminating coverage for millions. Further cuts to food assistance and clean energy subsidies are also proposed, aligning with previous Republican efforts to curtail government spending. The proposals face significant political hurdles due to the narrow Republican majority and anticipated Democratic opposition.
