US EditionGOP centrists revolt against steep cuts to Medicaid and other programs in Trump’s tax breaks bill
- Republican leaders are drafting President Trump's tax breaks bill, including $4.5 trillion in breaks and $1.5 trillion in cuts, due by Memorial Day.
- The bill's steep Medicaid cuts have prompted centrist Republicans like Juan Ciscomani to oppose it, citing harm to their constituents and rural hospitals.
- Don Bacon and others also seek to protect Biden-era green energy tax credits, warning that millions invested under those incentives could be lost.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates millions could lose coverage, while Democrats track votes and increase pressure amid a narrow GOP House majority.
- The bill’s fate depends on a few centrist Republicans, with opposition signaling potential defeat, as it raises economic concerns and controversy over cutting popular programs.
