Medicaid is clearly in line for cuts under President Donald Trump's budget despite assurances to the contrary from his budget chief. What President Donald Trump wants to do is merely slow the growth of Medicaid spending, he said. Additionally, the Republican health care bill passed by the House would cap the overall federal share of Medicaid spending. The Trump budget could compound those restrictions by reducing the rate of growth in federal Medicaid funding even more. So, yes, Medicaid spending would increase by $4.7 trillion over a decade.
