The Departments of Republicans of Republicans about Medicaid, tax cuts in Trump's legal template

Washington (AP) – jubilation broke out early Wednesday GOP tax sector calculation After a strenuous session crowded around the clock President Donald Trump Overwhelming package Democratic opposition.

But there is more work.

House spokesman Mike Johnson, R-La., Also worked after midnight to solve problems with Trump's plan. The opposition comes from different corners of the GOP Democrats.

On the one hand, the conservative leader of the freedom owl mocks the new Medicaid employment requirements As a “joke” that does not go far enough to cut costs. In the meantime, a handful of GOP legisans from New York and other high tax states refused to support the measure unless Called salt, For your voters at home.

“To say that we have a golf is an understatement,” said Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a leader of the conservative wing.

Roy said there is “a considerable number of us that could not bless this product” in its current form.

Nevertheless, the dynamic is based on the bending at the end of the week to sew the extensive package together in the household committee on Friday. This means combining hundreds of pages with bills, the 5 trillion US dollars in tax breaks and at least 1.5 trillion Green energy programs To give Trump's second -term legislative priority.

The Democrats decipher the package at the expense of safety network programs that millions of Americans rely on. But Johnson insists that the Republican majority is on the right track to say goodbye to the Memorial Day, May 26, and send it to the Senate in which the Republicans produce their own version. With his slim majority, he can only afford a few defenses from his ranks.

“We are still at our destination,” said Johnson in Capitol. “The American people counts on us.”

The Democrats stayed awake all night and forced the marathon -public hearings. One in the House Energy and Commerce Committee went more than 26 hours later before he was completed on Wednesday afternoon.

Later on Wednesday evening, the House Agriculture Committee, which cuts the food aids, ended its work, but only after the Republican chairman abruptly broken off the debate about dozens of remaining changes from Democrats.

Overall, the Democrats proposed hundreds of changes to change the package, with dozens of voices largely failed.

“It is a cruel, common draft law,” said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.

The impartial congress household office said that at least 7.6 million people had health insurance with reductions for Medicaid and probably more with additional changes to the Affordable Care Act.

The CBO also gave the legislators a preliminary analysis that shows that 3 million people per month would take part in the Snap Food program as part of the proposed changes.

More than 70 million Americans rely on Medicaid for health care and around 40 million use SNAP.

The Republicans are aimed at Medicaid and Snap for a combined reduction of 1 trillion US dollar to compensate for the costs of the tax package, but also GOP goals, to withdraw in the social security network programs.

Most cost savings would be due to the collection of stiffer work requirements for those who receive health care and food aid, which means that fewer people would qualify for help. Legislation would provide the age of adults from 54 to 64, without relatives who would have to work to qualify for SNAP. Some parents would also have to work to qualify for the advantages as soon as their children are older than 7 years old, instead of 18. According to the applicable law, these recipients must work or take part in a work program for 80 hours a month.

The chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky.

However, the Democrats told repeated stories about their voters who tried to access health care. MP Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif.

One of the most difficult topics for Johnson was the more local debate about state and local taxes because he brings a compromise for legislators in New York, California and New Jersey. You have rejected an offer to triple the deduction limit to $ 10,000 to $ 30,000 for married couples.

The spokesman met the legislator on Tuesday and continues on Wednesday.

Rep. Nick Lalota, Rn.Y., said it was warm, but there was no deal. “In this meeting, more sizzling than steak,” he said late Tuesday.

“The reality is that you need 218 votes to adopt a law, and the way this legislation is currently being built will not have this because it does not make the problem of salt reason,” said Rep. Mike Lawler, Rn.Y.

Legislators believe that they take advantage of the talks because the limit of 10,000 US dollars defined as part of the 2017 tax bill without a deal at the end of the year and does not return to any upper limit.

But when Johnson and the legislators take a closer look at a salt business, the conservatives are taken into account that their priorities must also be fulfilled.

MP Eric Burlison, R-Mo.

The conservatives argue that the tax benefits will stack the deficit without deeper expenses, and they fear that the Medicaid reducers will not go far enough to expand the law on affordable care. They also want the work requirements that only become effective on January 1, 2029 after Trump left the office earlier.

“Basically, the Republicans enforce Obamacare, which is a surreal situation for me,” said Burlison.

The Republicans run to extend Trump's tax breaks, which are supposed to expire later this year, and added the new ones for which he was classified in 2024, including taxes on tips, social security services and others.

A new analysis of the joint taxation committee shows that most control filers would record lower tax rates as part of the proposal, with the exception of those at the lowest interest rates that earn less than $ 15,000 per year. Your average tax rate would increase.
