House Republicans have unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Donald Trump鈥檚 鈥渂ig, beautiful bill.鈥 The legislation tallies hundreds of pages and involves at least $880 billion in cuts largely to Medicaid, the nation's health care program for more than 70 million Americans. The savings are needed to help cover the cost of $4.5 trillion in tax breaks. But it's setting off the biggest political fight over health care since Republicans tried but failed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act during Trump鈥檚 first term. Democrats warn millions of Americans will lose coverage. And one Republican, Sen. Josh Hawley, warned his colleagues in an op-ed Monday that cutting health care to pay for tax breaks would be 鈥渕orally wrong and politically suicidal.鈥
