WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are considering adding a provision to President Trump’s tax cut bill that would further cut Medicaid, alarming hospitals and potentially squeezing state budgets even further.

Senate Republicans are proposing deeper Medicaid cuts, including new work requirements for parents of teens, as a way to offset the costs of making President Donald Trump’s tax breaks more permanent.

The proposal would salvage some clean-energy tax credits and phase out others more slowly, making up some of the cost by imposing deeper cuts to Medicaid than the House-passed bill would.
