A contentious budget bill in the Senate is facing criticism from within the Republican party. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina argues that the bill violates President Trump's promise not to cut Medicaid. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Senate version of the bill could lead to nearly 12 million people losing health insurance due to significant reductions in Medicaid spending. While Trump claims the cuts target waste and abuse, Tillis questions how to justify the potential loss of coverage for hundreds of thousands of his constituents. The debate highlights a growing divide within the GOP regarding healthcare and budget priorities, as reported by KFF Health.
