House Republicans can have major implications for medical and medical with a new government funding bill.
Why does it make a difference
On Friday, the Republicans unveiled the new ongoing resolution (CR) bill last week, hoping to avoid the government’s closure.
Earlier, the House Republicans proposed a budget for the House Committee for Energy and Commerce with a deduction of $ 880 billion, which oversees Medicide, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This budget will mean that hundreds of billions of dollars will need to be out of federal health programs, which millions of Americans rely on.
What to know?
Mike Johnson, a Republican House speaker in Louisiana, proposed a Stap Gap Funding Bill to maintain the current federal spending level by September 30.
In the new CR, those who receive medical or medicids should not face any obstacles to their benefits, and those who benefit from social security will continue to pay monthly.
The bill will postpone the schedule reduction in the Medicidal Non -Proportal Share Hospital Program. The date will be transmitted from 2027 to 2028, which can help low -income hospital providers.
Medicare will expand many services, including television during the 2025 financial year.
The bill will also maintain full financial support for veterans and their health care services and benefits. This includes a slight increase in defense spending, which will increase the salary of lower -level military personnel and include additional funds for the construction of submarines.

What are people saying
Tom Cole, a Republican of Oklahoma and Chair of the House, said in a statement on Saturday: “The federal government’s financing is a constitutional responsibility, and the House Republican is working to maintain this duty. This straightforward resolution ensures that the government operates and operates for Americans. It maintains important services for our constituencies and provides our brave junior for all.”
President Donald Trump wrote to the True Social on Saturday: “All Republicans should vote next week (please!).
Hakim Jeffrees, a Democrat, a New York Democrat, told reporters last week: “Democrats are ready to discuss a meaningful, bilateral spending agreement that makes the working people a priority. [The] Parties ongoing resolution is at risk of reducing financial support for key programs … which is not acceptable. “
A Democrats of New York, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Shamar, in a statement: “We have always believed that the only solution is a two -way solution, no matter what.”
Kevin Thomson, founder and CEO of the 9I Capital Group, said Newsweek: “Overall, this bill meets many of the Democrats’ expectations, though they are likely to seek more incentives for medical and guarantee to maintain some levels of long -term costs.”
Alex Benny, a financial literacy instructor at Tennessee’s University in Martin, said Newsweek: “The effects of this proposal will be minimal and will keep the widespread benefits to the level they have been last year, the main reason is that the Republicans are trying to stabilize something to avoid the passage and the closure of another government.”
He added: “At the same time, the decision to propose a slight increase in defense costs could cost the Bill Democrat support, as the funding at the 2024 level could damage the appeal of Republicans to be desperate for further deductions. It will not pass a guarantee, and it will create more issues for the government.”
What happens next?
Republican Democrats are demanding that they help approve the bill to avoid the government’s closure, but some Democrats are skeptical due to the proposed increase in defense spending.
“Democrats have the choice to join us or to reveal their true intentions,” Cole said. “If they choose to take advantage of the negotiations and to vote to close the government to humiliate President Trump, they are ready to hurt millions more. This is a fight that they have lost in November, and one people will continue to see about it.
At this time, government funding is about to expire until Friday if no expenditure bill is approved. If this bill makes its way through the House, it needs the help of at least seven Democratic Senators to go to the President’s desk for approval.
