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<\/a>\u2019s sweeping tax and spending cuts agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A preview of the plan, which House Energy and Commerce Chairman Brett Guthrie outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed<\/a> Sunday, would impose major new rules designed to cut spending. That includes work requirements for adults who are physically \u201ccapable\u201d of working, in Guthrie\u2019s own description, and more frequent eligibility checks for those relying on the program, which provides health insurance<\/a> to low-income Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it does not appear to be the radical restructuring sought by many House GOP hardliners. Instead, it represents a compromise that the party\u2019s more centrist members<\/a> \u2014 and perhaps those across the Capitol in the Senate \u2014 may be more willing to support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full legislative text of the plan \u2014 which is not yet final \u2014 is expected to be released later Sunday night, and the plan could see further changes before a key committee vote midweek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it signals some of the biggest decisions made by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team so far as they work to strike a deal on Trump\u2019s big domestic policy bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains to be seen, however, whether the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee can meet its goal of cutting $880 billion over a decade in funding from programs in its jurisdiction \u2014 which will be critical to winning conservative support for the overall package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his op-ed, Guthrie described the committee\u2019s Medicaid plan as a \u201ccommon sense\u201d proposal to rein in spending on one of the government\u2019s most expensive health care programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout Republican solutions, Washington risks a complete collapse of Medicaid. Even with these simple steps to eliminate waste and abuse, Medicaid spending will continue to rise every year for the foreseeable future,\u201d the Kentucky Republican said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also signaled that Republicans would repeal at least some parts of former President Joe Biden\u2019s signature climate policy bill \u2014 though it\u2019s not yet clear whether they would target the specific electric vehicle tax credits that some GOP moderates have demanded to keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe legislation would reverse the most reckless parts of the engorged climate spending in the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act, returning $6.5 billion in unspent funds,\u201d Guthrie wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House Ways and Means Committee, the GOP\u2019s powerful tax-writing panel, earlier announced it will mark up its portion of the legislative package on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans on the panel released a bare-bones version of their tax bill, but that initial release did not include a series of contentious issues the committee is still hammering out, including the state and local tax deduction known as SALT. A group of House Republicans fighting over that provision will huddle Monday with the Ways and Means Committee to try to find a path, a source told CNN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
