WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans are considering adding a provision to President Trump’s tax cut bill that would further cut Medicaid, alarming hospitals and potentially squeezing state budgets even further.

While the two bills are similar on the major tax provisions, how they work out their differences in the coming weeks will determine how quickly they can get a final product over the finish line. President Donald Trump is pushing to have the legislation on his desk by July 4th.

The Senate Finance Committee on Monday released its version of the GOP’s package that calls for enacting sweeping cuts to Medicaid and preventing a multi-trillion dollar tax hike on Americans.
