"Social media users suggested Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) accidentally confirmed what Republicans have been keen to downplay: that their proposed budget bill will mean significant cuts to Medicaid.

During a Fox News interview with Will Cain, Smith, the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, briefly let slip a phrase that critics said gave away the GOP game.

Smith listed sticking points holding up the passage of the bill, such as the issue of the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT) and the repeal of green credits."
