As they work to pass a “big beautiful bill” filled with tax cuts and spending reductions, Republicans in Congress are proposing adding work requirements to Medicaid, the $618 billion program that provides healthcare to more than 70 million low-income Americans.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said on Monday that Republicans are eyeing early 2027 as the target date for the new Medicaid work requirements in the large budget package intended to

If passed into law, the bill would push 7.6 milion people off Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Cuts and new conditions for SNAP food aid would save $300 billion over ten years. Trump's 2017 tax cuts would be made permanent, costing $2 trillion over the next decade.

Republican tax bill could cost $3.8 trillion over 10 years as its tax cuts surpass spending reductions, according to one analysis.

House Republicans push forward deep Medicaid cuts in new tax and spending bill amid bipartisan concerns. Here's what that means for people.

Texas Republican Rep. Keith Self would vote against his party’s budget reconciliation bill as it currently stands. “I am a ‘no’ at the moment,” he told The Daily Signal.

Medicaid work requirements are a sticking point with fiscal hawks, three of whom sit on the Budget Committee, as they think they should go into effect sooner than 2029.

Sen. Rick Scott accused Americans of defrauding Medicaid, despite one of his previous companies being found guilty of doing just that, leading to backlash.

House Republicans barely managed to advance President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Sunday evening, but some of the same lawmakers who made that happen insist they still have issues with the massive measure.

House Republican leaders are still trying to resolve major internal battles over President Donald Trump’s massive domestic policy bill even as Speaker Mike Johnson is engaged in last-ditch negotiations to win over GOP members’ conflicting demands before an expected floor vote later this week.
