House GOP Eyes Medicaid Cuts to Slash $2 Trillion in Spending

As part of its budget bill, House Republicans are aiming to cut spending by up to $2.5 trillion, Punchbowl News reported.

Included on the possible chopping block is Medicaid, including benefits for enrollees, sources told Punchbowl, but some House Republicans are skeptical about the proposal while they look at $4.7 trillion in tax cuts.

House Republicans and the Senate remain at odds over how to pass a budget bill that would include tax cuts, plus spending on border security and energy policy, bulwarks of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
