Europe EditionWhat to know about the GOP’s Medicaid bill
- House Republicans are set to hold a markup session for a Medicaid bill on May 27, 2025, within the House committee responsible for energy and commerce issues, located in Washington, D.C.

- If passed, the bill could reshape Medicaid funding and policy, but faces resistance within both parties and tight vote margins before the House and Senate deadlines.
