Summary

79% Informative

A handful of House Republicans who represent parts of the country where sizable shares of the populations receive government assistance from Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program .

The 10 GOP -held districts with the highest percentages of Medicaid or SNAP beneficiaries span the ideological and geographical spectrum.

Republicans are on the hunt for steep spending cuts and under pressure to implement Trump ’s agenda.

The GOP budget plan calls for at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts.

House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie would be in charge of finding the requisite cuts.

Guthrie represents a district with the 14th -largest share of Medicaid recipients of any Republican .

If the bill fails to include substantial cuts, the wafer-thin GOP majority risks losing decisive votes from conservatives who have made that a condition for support.
