Overall, the Republican tax bill, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, would add $2.3 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, according to the CBO.

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.

The House of Representatives, under Republican leadership, has passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' a sweeping legislation that extends tax cuts primarily benefiting higher earners.
