It seems that Republicans in the House of Representatives are slightly changing their minds about making big cuts to the Medicaid program. This change is happening because some Republican politicians, who are less extreme, disagree with stopping the healthcare program that helps people in their local areas.

A new report says that millions of Americans could lose their health insurance. This is because Republicans want to cut government spending to save money.

The CBO report said that under each of these options, fewer people would be enrolled in Medicaid and more people would not have health insurance.

The results led to new questions about if House Speaker Mike Johnson can get his important bill passed by the deadline he set for himself around Memorial Day. President Donald Trump calls this bill his "big, beautiful bill."

Politicians are becoming more concerned, especially because people are worried about the economy and Trump's policies. For example, the trade war could lead to higher prices, stores running out of products, and people losing their jobs across the country.

All week, Johnson has been meeting privately with groups of Republicans in his Capitol office, especially moderate lawmakers from competitive areas who are against big budget cuts that would harm their districts.

The Democrats, who had asked for the CBO report, quickly used the information from it.

Representative Frank Pallone said that a report from the Congressional Budget Office, which is not linked to any political party, confirms that the Republican plans for Medicaid would mean millions of people lose their health insurance.

After a meeting on Tuesday night, Republican politicians in the House of Representatives suggested that their leaders, including Speaker Johnson, were deciding not to make some of the most talked-about changes to how the government helps states pay for healthcare programs like Medicaid.

Representative Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey said those changes to the healthcare program called Medicaid "will not happen."

Republican Representative Nick LaLota from New York mentioned that Trump is against reducing Medicaid. He also said that many Republicans now agree that if there are cuts to Medicaid, they should be in different parts of the program.

LaLota suggested other ideas, such as making people on Medicaid work, requiring recipients to prove they are eligible twice a year instead of once, and making sure immigrants without legal status in the U.S. do not receive aid.

But some Republicans, like those in the House Freedom Caucus, want bigger spending cuts to stop the national debt from growing too much because of the tax breaks.

Medicaid is a program that states and the federal government manage together. It helps pay for healthcare for 71 million adults.

Republicans are thinking about different ways to cut how much the government spends on the program. One idea is to pay a smaller part of the cost for people's health care, which is sometimes as high as 90%.

They are also thinking about limiting how much the government spends on each person in Medicaid, but that idea seems to be losing support among politicians.

The CBO said that these changes could save billions of dollars, but they could also mean that about 10 million people lose their Medicaid healthcare.

It seems the proposals are not being considered anymore.

However, Republicans are still thinking about other changes to Medicaid. One idea is to put new limits on how much states can tax healthcare providers. Right now, this tax helps states get more money from the federal government.
