House Republicans are preparing to vote on a spending blueprint that could kickstart President Donald Trump's policy agenda, but concerns about potential Medicaid cuts nearing $1 trillion have caused unease among some Republicans, jeopardizing the plan's approval. The proposed spending plan for fiscal year 2025 includes approximately $800 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next ten years, as part of a larger $2 trillion in overall spending reductions to offset $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and increased defense and border spending. While the resolution does not explicitly state Medicaid cuts, lawmakers are doubtful that the required $880 billion in cuts can be achieved without reducing Medicaid spending. Moderate Republicans in vulnerable districts and those with high Medicaid populations have voiced opposition to any cuts in Medicaid spending.
