The California House republican could oppose Trump’s tax bill on Medicaid changes

First on Fox: A republican of the chamber representing part of Southern California will oppose “Big and Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump if she returns to her room without the original language of the Chamber on Medicaid, a source familiar with his thought to Fox News Digital.

The representative Young Kim, R-Calif., Is one of the many moderates who are worried on Saturday after the Senate published the updated text of the massive bill which advanced Trump’s agenda on tax, immigration, defense, energy and national debt.

Two other sources told Fox News Digital that up to 20 to 30 moderate republicans reach out to President Mike Johnson, R-La., With serious concerns about the Senate bill.

The source familiar with Kim’s thought said: “As she said throughout this process,” I will continue to specify that a budgetary resolution which does not protect the Vital Services Medicaid for the most vulnerable, will grant tax alternatives to small businesses and addresses the ceiling on the tax deductions (salt) of the State and local will not receive my vote. “”

The Senate released the bill by almost 1,000 pages a few minutes before midnight Friday evening.

It makes notable changes to the version of the Bill Chamber – which adopted this Chamber by a single vote in May – in particular on the credits of Medicaid and Green Energy.

Among their problems, there is the difference in the tax rates of providers and the payments led by the State, both of the states used to help finance their share of Medicaid costs.

While the House bill called for freezing the taxes on service providers at their current rates and to prevent new on the implementation, the Senate bill went further – forcing states to gradually reduce their tax rates of service providers to 3.5%, if they adopted the expansion of the expansion of Medicaid Medicaid law (ACA).

This would include 40 states and Washington, DC, the last text of the Senate bill shows that the phase takes place between 2028 and 2032.

Sixteen moderate House GOP wrote a letter to the leaders of the Santant Congress The alarm on these MEDICAIDI provisions earlier this week.

They said that “undermines the balanced approach adopted to develop the MEDICAID MAD 1 – in particular the provisions of the taxes of providers and payments led by the State”.

“The version of the Senate unjustly deals with expansion and non -expanding states, does not preserve existing state programs and imposes more strict limits which do not give enough time to adapt to new budgetary constraints or to identify alternative funding sources,” said the letter.

To compensate for the concerns of the Senate Republicans concerning the proposed limits of their room on the payments led by the State and the tax rates of service providers, the Senate finance committee included a rural hospital fund of $ 25 billion in their legislation.

It was sufficient to influence senator Josh Hawley, R-MO., Who told journalists on Saturday that he would support the bill after expressed concern earlier concerning the impact of Medicaid provisions on rural hospitals.

But in the House, sources report to Fox News Digital that moderate Republicans may still need to convince whether the bill adopts the Senate this weekend.

This could cause problems to the leaders of the GOP in the Chamber given their thin majority with three votes, although it should be noted that the legislation could still change before it reaches the lower chamber.

But a senior House Gop aid told Fox News Digital that they thought that moderates will ultimately make the line, even if the text does not change.

“Moderate republicans can plead and implore leadership of the room whatever they want – Medicaid reforms made in the Senate are there to stay,” said the main assistant. “And finally, these legislators will turn around and vote for the” big bill “because the anger of President Trump is much worse than a tax of lower providers.”

Fox News Digital contacted the Lister’s office Mike Johnson to comment.

For his part, Johnson, R -La., Publicly urged the Senate on several occasions to modify the bill as little as possible – given the fragile unit which must be struck in the House to adopt it.
