Republican lawmakers, who are facing a self-imposed July 4 deadline, proposed restructuring the Medicaid program that provides coverage for more than 70 million people.

Senate Republicans are defending their changes to federal Medicaid spending in their final push to pass President Donald Trump’s budget reconciliation bill before Independence Day, arguing that the bill does not technically cut the health insurance program for disabled and low-income people.

The Senate is set to vote soon on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," but some Republicans are speaking out against the bill despite signaling they will vote in favor of it.
