Trump blesses Medicaid scrutiny to pay for mega-MAGA package – https://www.axios.com/2025/03/14/trump-medicaid-reconciliation-taxes-border
“President Trump opened the door Thursday for Senate Republicans to find cost savings in Medicaid as they hunt for ways to pay for his border, defense and tax priorities, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Trump has been emphatic that Medicaid benefits won’t be “touched,” but he endorsed looking for “waste, fraud and abuse” and even imposing new work requirements.
On Thursday, Trump and some top White House officials met with Republican senators on the Finance Committee, which includes Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and GOP Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.).
Zoom in: Trump indicated to senators he is open to cutting “waste, fraud and abuse” from any mandatory spending — including Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, multiple senators in the meeting told Axios.”
