WASHINGTON — The latest draft of the House tax cut bill calls for starting Medicaid work requirements next year, up from 2029, according to Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas).
Roy is among the members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus who fought for starting the requirements sooner. He’s also a member of the House Rules Committee, which started debating the budget reconciliation bill at 1 a.m. At publication time, committee members were still working through the 537 amendments that were submitted. The Rules Committee is the last stop before a House vote, and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) aims to pass the bill before the end of the week.
There are additional measures beyond Medicaid that are still under discussion among Republicans, including state and local tax deduction, or SALT, and green energy tax credits.
