Republicans Push Medicaid Reform, Spending Cuts, Deficit Reduction, and Green New Deal Repeal

A group of Republican lawmakers has emphasized their commitment to fiscal responsibility, advocating for spending cuts, deficit reduction, Medicaid reform, and the repeal of the Green New Deal, which they refer to as the 'Green New Scam.' Representatives Mark Harris, Eric Burlison, Chip Roy, and Andrew Ogles have highlighted the need to address waste, fraud, and abuse within Medicaid, particularly criticizing the expansion under Obamacare. They argue that Medicaid's current trajectory threatens federal financial stability and insist that Congress use the reconciliation process to implement reforms. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly exposed internal issues within Medicaid, reinforcing calls for congressional action to curb inefficiencies and prevent misuse of taxpayer funds.
