Republicans reportedly ready to cut Medicaid funding to pay for Trump plans

House and Senate Republicans float ideas to pay for Trump's immigration crackdown and to fund tax cuts

Republicans are reportedly prepared to cut Medicaid funding to pay for Donald Trump's promised crackdown on immigration and to fund tax cuts which would mostly benefit the wealthy.

The GOP in the House and Senate have floated a series of ideas - many of which would target lower income Americans - to cover the cost of extending tax cuts passed by Trump in 2017, the New York Times reported.
