Senate Republicans restored major Medicaid cuts to Donald Trump’s signature economic legislation, re-fashioning a key provision to overcome a procedural obstacle.Spending cuts to the health insurance program for the poor and disabled partially offset revenue losses from tax cuts in the measure and are a crucial demand of GOP fiscal conservatives.

The Senate Republican tax bill includes the biggest reduction for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending.

Senate Republicans narrowly advanced an updated bill containing President Donald Trump's legislative priorities on Saturday, despite criticism over proposed cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs.
