Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear joins Morning Joe to discuss GOP-led federal funding cuts that could bring “devastating” changes to Medicaid, closing rural hospitals and leaving children, seniors, and vulnerable residents without care.

House GOP efforts to slash the popular social safety net would give Democrats fodder for the midterm elections.

The House on Tuesday narrowly adopted a Republican budget resolution that calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a goal of $2 trillion in spending cuts. The Morning Joe panel discusses.

The budget renews sweeping tax cuts, and pays for it by reducing spending on Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety-net programs.

The House Republicans' budget plan “doesn’t even mention Medicaid,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said. The truth isn't nearly that simple.

Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have scheduled a vote Tuesday to move forward with their party’s budget blueprint.

There's a mid-March deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown, and hesitation is surfacing among congressional Republicans about potential cuts to Medicaid.

Programs projected to prevent thousands of deaths and even more illnesses are on the chopping block, while Republicans propose handing $4.5 trillion to millionaires and billionaires.

Around a dozen House Republicans are uneasy about the prospect of voting for their party’s budget proposal over potential cuts to Medicaid, according to several people familiar with the conversations.

The Senate plan, passed last week, does not include Medicaid cuts. The Senate budget resolution omits tax policy but sets the spending agenda to enact Trump’s border, defense and energy policies, punting negotiations on tax policy to a later date and breaking up the spending plan into two separate measures.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan joins The Weekend to discuss House Republicans' budget proposal and the steep cuts they have in mind.
