House Republicans are preparing to vote on a spending blueprint that could kickstart President Donald Trump's policy agenda, but concerns about potential Medicaid cuts nearing $1 trillion have caused unease among some Republicans, jeopardizing the plan's approval. The proposed spending plan for fiscal year 2025 includes approximately $800 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next ten years, as part of a larger $2 trillion in overall spending reductions to offset $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and increased defense and border spending.

Moderate Republicans in vulnerable districts and those with high Medicaid populations have voiced opposition to any cuts in Medicaid spending.
