The flim flam man strikes his own folks again.
In the House of Representatives, markups took place on Tuesday for two of the main parts of the “big beautiful bill” Trump wants Congress to pass as one massive package. The Energy and Commerce Committee’s bill, set to be a key part of that package, is home to the reforms to Medicaid Republicans are eyeing to bring home savings of nearly $1trn over a decade — reforms that include work requirements, state eligibility verification measures, and limits on medical provider taxes at the state level.
An estimate from the Congressional Budget Office last week found that millions would lose Medicaid eligibility under the GOP plan, with many unable to afford plans on the private market.
On the Ways and Means Committee, lawmakers met Tuesday to discuss the tax portion of the legislation. Republicans are hoping to extend as much of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which cut taxes for many Americans but disproportionately benefited households in the top 20 percent of income brackets.
Get it republican voters, you get a pittance while the wealthy are the ones who really benefit from trump's tax cuts, people just like trump benefit.

ANALYSIS: The GOP is all on board for Medicaid work requirements. Beyond that, there’s little unity yet, writes John Bowden
