Washington-While the Senate is preparing to consider the sprawling local package approved by Republicans in the House of Representatives last week, Senator Ron Johnson, R.
The Wisconsin Republican criticized the impact of the bill on the deficit, as he described the huge spending as “stressful the future of our children.” Non -party Congress budget office estimated that the bill would add $ 2.3 trillion to the federal deficit over 10 years.
Johnson said in an interview with “The Call of the Union” from CNN that Republicans in Congress must examine the spending “on a line, just as Doug did” to find areas to eliminate it.
Senator’s criticism comes at a time when the Senate is preparing to consider changes in the draft law of the House of Representatives, which was approved by one vote, which led to another battle on government deficit levels, financing programs and curb attempts to spend the purpose of spending from Republicans to send a final version of the bill to President Donald Trump’s office by July 4.
Several Senate Republicans expressed doubts about the aspects of the draft law for what they consider insufficient to reduce spending or shrink access to medical aid and promised to change it. Any changes to the bill should be approved by the House of Representatives before going to Trump.
Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky said. , In an interview withFox News Sunday The current discounts of spending in the draft law are “predominance and poverty”, adding that “it will still support the bill even with mysterious discounts and poverty if the debt does not explode.”
“The problem is that mathematics does not add what is up,” said Paul, adding that “they will explode religion.”
Senator Josh Holie, R-MO, also criticized potential civil discounts. It is expected that the bill, if passed in its current form, will cancel the health coverage of about 8.6 million people, according to estimates of the Congress Budget Office.
Hawly NBC News told the House of Representatives to pass the draft law that “the Senate will mainly write its own version of this bill, and I just want to make sure that there are no discounts in Medicaid benefit.”
in An editorial in the New York Times Earlier this month, Holie accused a wing of the Republican Party, which wants “Republicans of building our beautiful big bill about lowering health insurance for the working poor.”
“But this argument is morally wrong and political suicide,” said Holie.
When he was asked during an interview on Sunday about “Confronting the Nation” to CBS News to respond to Holie’s comments, Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson said that “we do not cut medical aid” but instead “work in fraud, waste and abuse elements.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives has repeatedly defended the effect of the bill on people who will lose Medicaid coverage, instead by throwing the bill as targeting waste, fraud and abuse among Medicaid users. He said in an interview with “The Creator of the Union” from CNN that the draft law led by Republicans did not reduce medical aid, on the pretext that “the numbers of affected Americans are those who are associated with our work to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse.”
The spokesman pointed to “illegal foreigners on medicaid”, saying that “Medicaid is not intended for non -American citizens.” to be sure Non -American citizens are allowed to register in government health care options.
Johnson also criticized “the youth, for example, who are on Medicaid and do not work.” He said that people were doing “fraud” by “choosing not working when they could.”
Jake Taber Johnson asked whether he believed that if any of his voters loses advantages like medicaid, then it would be because they should not have received these benefits “because they were committing waste, fraud or abuse.”
“Yes,” Johnson answered. “See, my region, like every region in America, has people in the program should not.”
Democrats have seized possible delicacies, bombing the Republican Laws Law and working to describe the Republican Party as ready to reduce the poor health insurance options with the increase in the wealth of Americans with higher income.
NBC News previously stated that during negotiations on the draft law last week, Trump visited the Republicans in the House of Representatives and their command, “La T-on Medicaid”, according to two legislators.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives said during multiple interviews on Sunday morning that he urged the Republicans of the Senate to make the possible changes in the draft law as possible. The House of Representatives and the Senate will eventually need to reconcile the various publications of the bill before heading to the Trump office for signing the law.
Johnson said at CBS News: “I had lunch with my Republican colleagues on Tuesday, and their weekly lunch, and encouraged them to remember that we are one team,” Johnson said at CBS News. “It is the Senate and Republicans in the House of Representatives that will present this ball through the goal line, if it is permissible to speak. They encourage them to make as much as much amendments as possible, while remembering that I have a very accurate balance.”
The draft law approved the House of Representatives 215-214, where two Republicans oppose the draft law, one “present” vote and two missing people voted.
The leader of the minority in the House of Representatives Hakim Jeffrez, DN.Y. The bill last week, saying that “Trump promised love and stumbling
Jeffrez said in a statement. “Millions of people will lose their medical coverage, and the diligent US taxpayers will have to pay higher installments, spoon and discounts.”
