GOP Says Trump Doesn’t Want What?
President Trump is keeping his promise to the American people: no cuts to vital health benefits, and a renewed focus on rebuilding our economy and securing our borders.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) reaffirmed Sunday that President Trump’s bold legislative agenda is centered around strengthening the U.S. economy—not slashing health care programs.
“President Trump has been crystal clear—he will never allow cuts to Medicaid benefits for hardworking Americans,” Smith stated during an interview on “The Hill Sunday” with NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.
Smith explained that programs like Medicaid fall under the jurisdiction of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, not Ways and Means. He emphasized that the upcoming bill is designed to supercharge American energy production, secure our southern border, and drive economic growth—not overhaul health care.
Conservative Lawmakers Stand Firm to Protect Seniors and Families
Concerned House Republicans are standing shoulder to shoulder with President Trump to protect vulnerable Americans.
Twelve GOP lawmakers recently sent a strong letter to Mike Johnson (R-La.), Steve Scalise (R-La.), Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.). In it, they pledged:
“We are firmly opposed to any final bill that would reduce Medicaid coverage for vulnerable Americans.”
This unified stand shows that Republican leaders are committed to protecting seniors, families, and hardworking citizens who depend on these important safety nets.
Protecting America’s Future: Economic Growth Without Sacrificing Health Care
Earlier this month, the House approved a bold new budget framework supporting President Trump’s America-First vision. The plan directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find $880 billion in savings over the next decade—a tough but necessary step toward reducing waste and cutting Washington’s bloated bureaucracy.
While some budget experts claim these savings may be difficult without touching Medicaid, President Trump remains firm: no cuts to essential health care for Americans.
Instead, Trump’s agenda focuses on:
- Strengthening border security
- Unleashing American energy independence
- Driving economic growth to create new American jobs
- Protecting seniors and the most vulnerable
Bottom Line:
President Trump’s vision is clear: revive the economy, secure our borders, unleash energy dominance, and protect the American people.
Americans can be confident that under Trump’s leadership, their health care benefits will be protected—and America’s future will be stronger than ever.
