House Republicans are eyeing a vote on the final package before Memorial Day, even as they have yet to reach consensus on several key issues.

WASHINGTON – House Republicans plan to enact work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks for Medicaid, according to a proposal released late on May 11 by a key GOP-led committee.

Republican lawmakers are calling for work requirements, stricter eligibility verification and some co-pays.

Fiscal hawks are lashing out over what they say are the lack of Medicaid reforms in President Trump’s legislative package, which could thwart the House GOP’s goal of passing the legislation next

WASHINGTON – House Republicans defended a bill that would enact sweeping tax cuts, raise the debt ceiling, and add restrictions to benefit programs during a heated marathon day of committee hearings on Capitol Hill.

Anyone who lost coverage as a result of the Republican bill would be out of health care because the Commonwealth would not be able to backfill the billions in cuts proposed in the bill, Shapiro said.

But backers like Rep. Gabe Evans say the proposal’s goal is to ensure only those who qualify for the program are using it.
