Trump, budget bill and Medicare Cuts
Digest more
It took intense lobbying from President Donald Trump, an all-nighter, and a vote on a bill for which many people did not yet have a clear grasp of the final changes, but House Republicans got it done this week.
President Trump met with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill and said that their tax cut bill's Medicaid changes are focused on cutting fraud, waste and abuse.
The bill, which must still win Senate approval and a presidential signature, would have a broad impact on state residents' daily lives.
House Republicans narrowly passed a budget plan that would remove health care coverage for nearly 14 million Americans on Medicare and Medicaid, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Congresswoman Lauren Underwood joins “The Weekend” to discuss how Democrats plan to make this a defining issue in the midterms.
