House Republicans closely passed the law on President Donald Trump’s tax and politics and sent them to the Senate, where they face intensive control and potential revisions. More than 1,000 page law includes a deep reduction in taxes, changes in social security programs and an increase in debt of $ 4 trillion.
Despite the call of spokesman Mike Johnson to make the least adjustment of this package, at least a dozen Republicans of the Senate signaled their intention to seek changes.
Work requirements draw fire
One of the most promising elements of the law is a reduction in 625 billion dollars Medicaid, which includes new job requirements for proficient adults without children. Critics say that the provisions could push 7.6 million Americans out of health coverage.
The speaker Johnson defended the measures of the proverb: “4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid if they decide.”
Called new rules “Commonsense” and rejected criticism that the requirements are too burdensome:
“You tell me that … For example, young men (can’t) voluntarily participate in their community for 20 hours a week? I don’t buy it. Americans don’t buy it,” Johnson said with NBC.
Increased control of paperwork and capacity
Legislation also introduces additional requirements for paperwork and verification, including more frequent eligibility checks and a confirmation of the roar. Johnson claimed that these measures are minimal and necessary.
“People who complain that these people will lose their coverage because they cannot meet paperwork, it is less recovery of this policy, and it is common sense,” he said.
States are pushing back to energy return
Another point of friction is the return of the Act on Renewable Energy Supply Act to reduce inflation. These are senators from states that benefit from pure energy.
Elon Musk slams an account
Even Trump Ally Elon Musk criticized the home version.
“I am disappointed. It increases the deficit and undermines the work of the DOGE team,” said Musk 30 May outside the White House and referred to his preferred crypt initiative.
Political pressure and the next steps
The budget package, called “One Big Beautiful Bill”, passed in the house after the party, but faced resistance to Republican Town Hall, especially when it comes to cuts and supplementary nutrition (Snap). Democrats and other critics say Bill reduces hundreds of billions of funding for vital social programs.
Despite criticism, Johnson expressed confidence that the bill is in progress in the Senate and will reach President Donald Trump’s table within July 4.
