When reached by Newsweek, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, "President Trump made a clear pledge: no cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security. The One, Big, Beautiful only addresses waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid with commonsense reforms like popular work requirements and eligibility verification."

Minnesota state officials warned the bill would cut $500 million a year in reimbursements for hospital and nursing home coverage.

For months, more than a dozen Hill Republicans have been sounding the alarm about the steep Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump’s sprawling agenda package, which is now just hours away from becoming law.
