As part of their effort to pass a massive tax, immigration and spending cuts package, House Republicans are eyeing plans to shave billions from the federal budget. Some of those cuts could affect Medicaid and the related Children’s Health Insurance Program.

Health care providers at the American Hospital Association’s annual meeting warned that cuts to Medicaid could force hospitals to close.

House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,’’ a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.

The Jobs and Opportunities for Medicaid Act, adds a 20-hour weekly work or volunteer requirement for Medicaid enrollees starting Jan 1, 2026.

Draft legislation filed Sunday night, projected to save the government more than $900 billion, would cost millions of people health insurance coverage within a decade.

The House Ways and Means Committee named its package "THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’’ in all capital letters, a nod to President Trump himself.

Democrats slammed the so-called "big beautiful bill" to unlock President Donald Trump’s agenda, which includes new work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP.

CMS has issued a proposed rule to close what it describes as a Medicaid tax “loophole” that some states have exploited to increase federal payments while minimizing their state financial contributions.
