The House GOP has ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid funding, to cut $880 billion in a bill to advance Trump's agenda.

The nonpartisan bookkeeper said there’s no other way to cut $1.5 trillion from the budget over the next decade.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Wednesday that hundreds of billions of dollars would have to be cut from Medicaid if Republicans want to achieve their goal of slashing $2 trillion from the federal budget.
