GOP charges ahead despite deep divisions on Medicaid

توضیحات:

House Republicans are pushing ahead with a major budget package that includes deep Medicaid cuts and a partial extension of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, despite sharp divisions within the GOP. Moderates and conservatives are clashing over proposals such as raising the SALT tax deduction cap and imposing stricter Medicaid work requirements. Key moderates from high‑tax states oppose the current SALT cap proposal, while conservative hardliners demand deeper Medicaid reforms. With a slim House majority and a Memorial Day deadline, Speaker Mike Johnson faces a tough path to unite his party, The Hill has reported. Meanwhile, Democrats strongly oppose the bill, calling it a giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of health care for millions.
