House Republicans pass budget blueprint that could spell Medicaid cuts
"House Republicans on Tuesday took the first step toward potentially cutting Medicaid, passing a budget blueprint that calls for $880 billion in spending cuts from the agency that oversees the safety-net insurance program.
Although the budget resolution does not mention Medicaid specifically, lawmakers would be hard pressed to find cuts sufficient enough to meet its targets without touching Medicare or Medicaid. If the Energy and Commerce Committee — the committee tasked with finding $880 billion in savings — cut everything that’s not healthcare-related, the committee would still be short $600 billion, according to the New York Times.
President Trump has said he wouldn’t cut Medicare, but he’s offered conflicting statements on Medicaid. On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Medicaid was “hugely problematic” due to alleged fraud, waste and abuse in the program."
