In an interesting turn of events, the Republican household solution of the Republican House is in difficulties due to Medicaid and not because they may think. The problem is that a dozen republicans of the Republicans do not agree to the deep cuts of the program in the budget of spokesman Johnson.
Politico reported:
The spokesman Mike Johnson stares at least a dozen republicans in the Budget blueprint, which he would like to put on the house in the coming days – and he can only afford to lose a member and still approve the resolution according to party borders.
Johnson and his whipping team use the current one-week break to increase the obligation with undecided Republicans, including seven membership, if not even serious concerns regarding the deep freights at Medicaid in the house-gop budget decision in house-gop.

Repsers include the official owners in need of protection that deal with the Slashing Medicaid services. David Valadao from California, Nicole Malliotakis from New York, Don Bacon from Nebraska, Rob Breschan from Pennsylvania and others from Redder Districts. They were generally blindly made by the lower level of planned cuts, said a Republican, as this opportunity never occurred in previous discussions with GOP leaders.
The problem for the Republicans is that they cannot find the money without steep reductions at Medicaid to pay Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
The Republicans of the House know that the coordination for Medicaid's cuts would kiss kissing their seats in 2026.
Here, the democratic rejection of the Republicans with everything Trump would support to reduce taxes for the rich is useful.
The Republicans have to say goodbye to their budget decisions themselves because the Democrats have refused to help them.
Vulnerable republicans of the house will not give up their seats to appease a lame -heady president.
Mike Johnson's budget looks dead in the water, which gives the Democrat even more power to stop Trump's agenda and save medicaid.
What do you think about the idea that it could be home republicans who save Medicaid? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
