House GOP sneakily proposes kicking millions of people off Medicaid [View all]

While no one was watching Sunday night, House Republicans released their official plan to only partly pay for President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which will cut taxes for the rich and finance his evil deportations. As expected, the legislation will cut health care for millions of Americans.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee's legislation would cut $912 billion over the next decade, with $715 billion coming from Medicaid, the popular program that provides health insurance to more than 71 million Americans annually.

“Congressional Republicans and President Trump rightly pledged to protect Medicaid benefits and coverage—this bill fails that test. It is imperative Republicans go back to the drawing board; too many lives depend on it,” Chip Kahn, president and CEO of the Federation for American Hospitals, said in a statement.

The plan would make cuts to Medicaid by capping provider taxes, which states use to extract matching federal funds to cover Medicaid costs.
