'Under Cover of Night,' Republicans Unveil Plan to Kick Over 8 Million Off Medicaid (www.commondreams.org)

House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans—including children and people with disabilities—to help fund tax breaks that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy.

The bill text released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee is a section of the sprawling budget reconciliation package that Republicans are hoping to complete as soon as Memorial Day.

The legislation includes major changes to Medicaid that, if enacted, would kick millions from the program, including work requirements for some enrollees and new payment mandates for adults living above 100% of the federal poverty level—which, for a single individual, is $15,650 in annual income for 2025.

Editor's Note: This is a plan, but they're trying to hide it. If it was a normal bill release, I wouldn't post this.

This is a bill at this stage. We have to shout loud enough for everyone to hear that this is happening to stop it. That's why they tried to hide it.
