Washington, February 27 (RHC)-- In the U.S., the Republican-led House of Representatives has narrowly approved a budget framework for much of President Trump’s agenda, proposing $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a $2 trillion reduction in federal spending over the next decade.
Among other provisions, the budget would likely slash about $800 billion over a decade from Medicaid, threatening healthcare coverage to more than 72 million people.
All 215 House Democrats voted against the budget. On Tuesday, the Congressional Progressive Caucus launched a campaign for an alternative budget — the “Tax the Greedy Billionaires” coalition.
