The GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is Facing Major Hurdles as Some Members Seek to Cut Medicaid Funding

House Speaker Mike Johnson is seeking to pass the GOP's massive reconciliation bill by Memorial Day, despite fellow members' hesitation over Medicaid cuts.

The GOP's "big, beautiful bill" is facing yet another roadblock in its efforts to cut Medicaid as moderate and swing-district House Republicans try to balance their loyalty to Trump and their re-election prospects.

According to a new Axios report, many centrist House GOP members are worried that cutting programs like Medicaid too harshly could inflame the already intense backlash they are facing from constituents over DOGE cuts.
