Medicaid Cuts Spark Protests as Republicans Push Through Trump-Backed Bill

House Republicans pushed forward a bill packed with key Trump priorities, despite growing backlash over Medicaid cuts. ABC News' Jay O'Brien reports from Capitol Hill, where protests erupted and Capitol Police say 25 demonstrators were arrested for disrupting proceedings. "They flooded the hallways," O'Brien stated, describing the scene. Republicans used a process called reconciliation to fast-track the legislation. The bill includes work requirements for Medicaid recipients aged 19-64, higher co-pays, and blocks funding for non-citizens. The goal is to achieve $2 trillion in federal cuts. However, some Republicans express concerns, suggesting a rocky road ahead for the bill's passage. The events underscore the deep political divisions surrounding healthcare policy and government spending.
