Senate Republicans release Trump agenda bill text on Medicaid, Medicare and SALT

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee released their portion of the massive bill for President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda on Monday, with some significant changes compared with the House-passed package.

The 549-page bill extends the expiring Trump tax cuts and includes provisions to slash taxes on tips and overtime pay.

It contains a slew of Medicaid spending cuts and new rules, including work requirements that would kick in at the end of 2026, like the House bill. It also contains policies to force more frequent checks on eligibility and tougher screenings to prove lawful immigration status, in order for people to keep their coverage.
