US EditionHawley warns GOP Medicaid cuts are ‘morally wrong and politically suicidal’
- On January 28, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri publicly opposed a GOP proposal to cut over $880 billion from Medicaid and related health programs in Washington, D.C.
- The cuts aim to fund President Trump's tax agenda but have deepened Republican divisions over Medicaid's role in providing health coverage to working-class Americans.
- The House GOP plan includes $715 billion in Medicaid cuts, stricter eligibility rules, higher co-payments, and could cause 8.6 million people to lose coverage, prompting concern from moderates and conservatives.
- Hawley called the cuts “morally wrong and politically suicidal,” noting the program covers over 70 million Americans, including one million in Missouri, and warned, “Our voters support social insurance programs.”
- Hawley's opposition threatens GOP unity needed for budget reconciliation, highlighting an identity struggle within the party and foreshadowing difficult negotiations over Medicaid funding.
