Trump's "big, beautiful bill" faces a major test as House committees iron out details

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Other portions of the package include funding for infrastructure and technology enhancements along the U.S.-Mexico border in addition to investments in Customs and Border Protection staffing.
58% : In recent weeks, Republicans had considered moving more of the cost sharing to the states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
46% : Protesters, some who wore shirts that read "protect Medicaid," disrupted the hearing early on to voice their concern about cuts to the program.
43% : The changes to Medicaid laid out in the legislation include imposing work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, more frequent eligibility checks, cutting federal funds to states that use Medicaid infrastructure to provide health care coverage to undocumented immigrants and banning Medicaid from covering gender transition services for children.
40% : But major divisions among Republicans remain on several issues, including how to overhaul Medicaid and a tax deduction expiring in December.
39% : The committee did not lower the rate by which the federal government pays states for Medicaid, a point of contention between moderates and conservatives.
38% : The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently calculated that achieving those savings would not be possible without cuts to Medicaid. Democrats have hammered Republicans on the issue, asserting that children and people with disabilities will lose their health insurance.
