GOP Senator vows deeper Medicaid cuts in 'second bite at the apple' [View all]

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Politico on Tuesday that he's received assurances that Republicans will get another chance to cut Medicaid after voting to support President Donald Trump's mega budget bill.

Trump's budget slashed more than $700 billion from Medicaid and imposed work requirements for Medicaid members to receive their benefits starting after the 2026 midterms. Now, Republicans like Johnson are seeking to further slash the Medicaid expansion from when the Democrats expanded under the Affordable Care Act.

“I think I pretty well have a commitment. They’re going to do that,” Johnson told Politico.
