House GOP memo blasts Dems on shutdown healthcare

House Republicans released a five-page report during day 14 of the government shutdown accusing Democrats of trying to 'undermine' U.S. healthcare by seeking to roll back GOP Medicaid and hospital funding provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (now Working Families Tax Cuts) via their continuing resolution. The memo claims Democrats’ proposal would erase $50 billion in rural hospital funds and reverse Medicaid financing reforms, while Democrats press for extending enhanced ACA subsidies and a shorter CR to Oct. 31; the GOP CR extends through Nov. 21 and passed the House Sept. 19 but remains stalled in the Senate.
