Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is warning against his own party’s push to slash Medicaid spending, just hours after House Republicans released legislation that could save billions of dollars and make

House Republicans passed Medicaid reform and a $900 billion spending cut out of committee Wednesday after a marathon multi-day session marking up that portion of President Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill — despite a key senator warning the commander in chief would veto it.

One Republican, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, warned his colleagues in an op-ed Monday that cutting health care to pay for tax breaks would be “morally wrong and politically suicidal.”

Mo., is sounding the alarm that Republicans should avoid deep cuts to Medicaid in the budget reconciliation process.

The House GOP is working to push Trump's package through committees and opposition from Democrats and even some wary Republicans.

House Republicans are proposing hundreds of billions of dollars in spending cuts to Medicaid, a major flashpoint in negotiations that could make or break President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

Hawley’s op-ed, titled “Don’t Cut Medicaid,” questioned President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” asking, “Will Republicans be a majority party of working people, or a permanent minority speaking only for the C suite?”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) came down hard on his party for meddling with Medicaid and possibly requiring co-pays for Medicaid recipients seeking medical care. "It's reverse class warfare, is what it is," Hawley told CNN's Manu Raju Wednesday.

Republican legislation proposes changes to Medicaid including work requirements, co-pays and tougher eligibility requirements. Doctors and patients worry about the effects.
