The House of Representatives has successfully passed a budget resolution that aims to extend tax cuts while also initiating a significant $2 trillion spending cut plan. Speaker Mike Johnson was able to garner support from Republicans, including those hesitant about Medicaid cuts. However, overall passage of the budget will require Senate approval and subsequent legislation from both chambers. The resolution currently is vague regarding Medicaid but imposes a directive for the Energy and Commerce Committee to identify $880 billion in cuts over the next decade, limiting the avenues available for achieving these savings.
In theory, the budget resolution passed by the House could become law without significant cuts to Medicaid, but the path ahead remains complicated.
The budget resolution instructs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to cut spending by $880 billion over the next decade, potentially targeting Medicaid.
