WASHINGTON – House Republicans plan to enact work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks for Medicaid, according to a proposal released late on May 11 by a key GOP-led committee.

The U.S. Congress should enact steeper work requirements for Medicaid and food aid in a tax cut and spending plan being advanced by Republicans, four senior Trump administration officials said in a New York Times opinion column.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee voted Wednesday to advance Republican plans to cut federal funding for Medicaid, the US health insurance program for low-income and disabled people.

As President Donald Trump continues to push for a "big, beautiful bill" that will combine his legislative priorities, Republicans in Congress are fighting over the particulars — including Medicaid funding.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) came down hard on his party for meddling with Medicaid and possibly requiring co-pays for Medicaid recipients seeking medical care. "It's reverse class warfare, is what it is," Hawley told CNN's Manu Raju Wednesday.
