House Republicans appear to be backtracking on some of the steep cuts to the Medicaid program, part of a major tax bill, as they face pushback from more moderate Republican lawmakers who oppose ending near-free health care for their constituents.

今回の動きは、水曜日に発表された議会予算局(CBO)の新しい報告に基づいています。この報告では、共和党が提案しているコスト削減策によって、何百万人ものアメリカ人がメディケイドの対象から外れる可能性があると予測されています。下院共和党は、約4.5兆ドルの減税で失われる収入を補うために、連邦政府の医療やフードスタンプなどのプログラムで最大1.5兆ドルの削減を目指しています。

According to the CBO report, under each of these options, Medicaid enrollment is projected to decrease, leading to a rise in the number of uninsured individuals.

This discovery has made it less certain if Speaker Mike Johnson can get President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' passed before the deadline he set for Memorial Day.

議員たちは、トランプ大統領の政策、例えば貿易問題による物価上昇や失業の心配など、経済的な不安が高まっているため、ますます心配しています。今回の法案の中心は、2017年に始まった減税を延長することです。これは共和党が重要視していることですが、彼らは国の借金と赤字を減らすために、他の予算を削減したいと考えています。

Throughout this week, Speaker Johnson has been talking privately in his office at the Capitol. He has been meeting with moderate Republican members of Congress, especially those from areas where elections are very competitive. These members have warned him that big budget cuts would hurt the people they represent.

Upon the CBO report's release, the Democratic Party, who had requested it, issued an immediate response to the findings.

ニュージャージー州のフランク・パローネ下院議員は、オレゴン州のロン・ワイデン上院議員と一緒にこの分析を求めました。彼は、「この議会予算局の分析は、共和党のメディケイド案で何百万人もの人々が医療保険を失うという私たちの意見が正しいことを示しています」と述べました。

Following a late-night meeting on Tuesday, House Republicans suggested that Speaker Johnson and the Republican leadership were partially withdrawing from the most contentious proposed Medicaid changes regarding the federal matching fund rates allocated to states.

Jeff Van Drew, a Congressman representing New Jersey, asserted that these changes to Medicaid had been "derailed."

Additionally, New York State Representative Nick LaLota pointed out that President Trump himself said he was against cutting Medicaid. He also mentioned that many Republicans now agree that they should focus on other things instead of cutting Medicaid.

According to Councilman LaRota, other ideas include making people on Medicaid work, checking if they qualify twice a year instead of once, and stopping immigrants without legal papers from getting help.

しかし、下院フリーダム・コーカスのメンバーのような、より保守的な共和党議員たちは、減税で増えた赤字を抑えるため、もっと厳しい支出削減を求めています。

Medicaid is a program jointly administered by both state and federal governments, serving approximately 71 million adults.

The Republican Party is exploring a range of options to curtail federal spending on the program, including reducing the percentage the federal government contributes to insured individuals' healthcare costs, which can occasionally reach 90%.

さらに、共和党はメディケイドの加入者一人あたりに連邦政府が使う金額に上限を設けることを考えていると伝えられています。しかし、この提案も議員たちの間で支持を失っているようです。

The CBO cautions that these alterations, while potentially yielding billions in cost reductions, could simultaneously result in approximately ten million individuals losing their Medicaid coverage.

これらの提案は、現在検討対象から外れているように見受けられます。

しかし、共和党はメディケイドの他の変更案も検討し続けています。例えば、州が連邦政府から多くのお金を受け取る医療機関に税金をかけることに対する新しい制限です。この案は何十億ドルもの節約になるかもしれませんが、同時に約800万人が保険を失う可能性もあると報告されています。
