Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) suggested his own party might not pass what he called “entitlement cuts” to Medicaid due to political pressure.
Republicans are committed to trillions in federal spending cuts, and Medicaid is appearing as a large target. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) predicted that the majority leadership is trying to “enact the largest Medicaid cut in American history.” Arrington implied there are cuts to be made in the “waste and abuse” of the service.
