DENVER — A bill that would overhaul Medicaid and penalize states like Colorado that provide state-funded health care coverage to undocumented immigrants advanced in a U.S. House committee on Wednesday.
Denver7 is keeping an eye on the lengthy debates in Congress over the so-called “big, beautiful bill” that would extend and increase tax cuts by making cuts to Medicaid and other benefit programs.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said several committees worked all night and have now passed their portions of the bill. He hopes to pass it in the full House and send it to the U.S. Senate before Memorial Day.
