House Republicans have successfully pushed through proposals that would slash Medicaid and food stamps as part of Trump’s budget, making his 2017 tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent by taking away essential services for the rest of the country. The measure could leave 8.6 million people without healthcare over the next decade. Some Senate Republicans have voiced concerns over the bill — namely, that it doesn’t include steep enough spending cuts.
