💨 Abstract

Senate Republicans proposed deeper Medicaid cuts, including work requirements for parents of teens, to offset costs of making Trump's tax breaks permanent. The draft legislation keeps the $10,000 state and local tax deduction, drawing criticism from GOP lawmakers from high-tax states. The Senate draft enhances tax breaks for seniors and aims to prevent tax hikes. The bill faces unified opposition from Democrats and concerns about adding $2.4 trillion to deficits over a decade.
