Senate GOP eyes Medicare cuts with Trump's blessing

Source: Axios

President Trump gave Republican senators a green light to explore ways to save money on Medicare during a meeting at the White House, senators said Thursday.

Why it matters: Changes to save money on Medicaid have already proven contentious with some Republicans. Medicare could open a new can of worms.

  • "The president is willing to eliminate any waste, fraud and abuse anywhere," Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) told Axios about the White House meeting Wednesday night that he attended, "which opens up Medicare, as well," he added.
  • "What the president made clear is he does not want to see any cuts to beneficiaries, but to go after... the waste, fraud and abuse," said Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), clarifying that Trump opened up Medicare as an option at the meeting.
  • Politico first reported on the Medicare discussions.


  • What to watch: One possibility being floated is a bill from Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), which would get savings from the Medicare Advantage program.
