Republicans officially reached the hard part of the effort to pass a budget plan addressing several of President Donald Trump’s top priorities this week.
In the House of Representatives, markups took place on Tuesday for two of the main parts of the “big beautiful bill” Trump wants Congress to pass as one massive package. The Energy and Commerce Committee’s bill, set to be a key part of that package, is home to the reforms to Medicaid Republicans are eyeing to bring home savings of nearly $1trn over a decade — reforms that include work requirements, state eligibility verification measures, and limits on medical provider taxes at the state level.
