Republicans want to shift safety-net costs to states. It’s not going over well.
Plans to finance the GOP’s domestic policy megabill are vexing Republican lawmakers who are not interested in addressing Washington’s fiscal woes by creating them in state capitals.
Under some House GOP proposals, states would have to assume a greater share of the cost for the #Medicaid expansion while also bearing a portion of #SNAP costs for the first time.
But millions of low-income families in red states rely on the programs for health care and food, and some of the latest #GOP plans would actually hurt deep-red states more than others.
GOP leaders have pulled back from the farthest-reaching proposals. But others remain on the table, and so far pushback in the House has been relatively limited. That’s not true in the Senate, where most Republicans hate the idea of saddling states with billions of dollars in new financial burdens.
