House GOP eyes deeper Medicaid, Medicare cuts in next budget bill: Bloomberg

House Republicans have already begun work on a follow-up budget bill that seeks deeper cuts to Medicaid and new spending reductions in Medicare, Bloomberg reported July 14. 

Five things to know: 

1. House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, told Bloomberg he sees the legislation — coming this fall — as an opportunity to secure Medicare spending cuts he unsuccessfully sought in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4. 

2. Mr. Arrington’s goals include reducing reimbursement to hospitals through a site-neutral payment system.  

3. He said conservatives are also seeking to use the legislation to penalize states that fail to enforce existing laws against Medicaid benefits for undocumented immigrants, according to the report. 

4. The federal reimbursement rate to states for healthy, able-bodied adults added to Medicaid under the ACA is also on the chopping block, as Mr. Arrington plans additional cuts to the program. 

5. He added that the bill would also be used to fix any errors inserted into the U.S. tax code by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
