The House plan aims to pass Trump's full agenda in one bill, including tax cuts and increased debt limits, while the Senate prefers a two-bill approach, addressing border security and defense first and tax cuts later.

The House plan proposes significant cuts to Medicaid, potentially slashing $880 billion over ten years. This could impact millions of low-income Americans who rely on Medicaid for healthcare, though proponents argue it would reduce waste and abuse.

The proposed Medicaid cuts are causing internal GOP tensions, particularly among lawmakers from districts with high Medicaid beneficiary rates. This could lead to political backlash and complicate the passage of the budget.
