48% : To offset the cost of extending the 2017 tax cuts, the House GOP has attempted to maximize the Congressional Budget Office's estimate of savings resulting from its proposed reforms to Medicaid.
48% : States like New York are increasingly trying to get federal Medicaid funding for housing, transportation and other welfare services, by citing incidental benefits to health.
40% : Instead of struggling to make tiny cuts to Medicaid, conservatives in Congress should instead focus on stopping states from further expanding it with programs that prove politically irreversible once they go into effect.
