GOP opts for Medicaid compromise in battle between centrists and hardliners [View all]
(CNN) House Republicans on Sunday night offered the first glimpse of their Medicaid overhaul plan, which is expected to cut billions of dollars to help finance President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts agenda.
Details of the plan, unveiled by House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie, show major new rules designed to cut spending. That includes work requirements for adults who are physically “capable” of working and more frequent eligibility checks for those relying on the program, which provides health insurance to low-income Americans.
But it does not appear to be the radical restructuring sought by many House GOP hardliners. Instead, it represents a compromise that the party’s more centrist members — and perhaps those across the Capitol in the Senate — may be more willing to support.
