The biggest hurdle in the Senate for Trump’s tax and immigration bill could come — like it did in the House — from deficit hawks who demand more cuts.

House Speaker Mike Johnson shepherded through Congress President Trump's spending bill, which includes Medicaid work requirements.

Others, including Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), have voiced similar concerns about the bill’s steep cost, worrying that it is “mortgaging our children's future.”

Experts say enrolling in and maintaining Medicaid would become more difficult under Trump’s tax cuts plan, which House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would like the full House to consider

New rules would restrict access to the low-income health insurance program, punish states covering undocumented children, and shift costs to states.
