The US Republican Party has been actively advancing several key components of their legislative agenda, particularly focusing on economic and healthcare policies.

Recently, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted along party lines to advance the health care section of the GOP's sweeping tax bill. This move is part of a broader effort to implement President Trump's economic agenda, which includes making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent and enacting new measures to lower costs for families and businesses. The health care portion of the bill involves significant changes to Medicaid, aiming to reach an $880 billion savings target without triggering widespread coverage losses that could lead to political backlash. However, these changes are estimated to result in 10.3 million people losing Medicaid coverage and 7.6 million people becoming uninsured.

Despite the committee's approval, there are internal GOP disagreements. Hard-liners are pushing for even steeper cuts and earlier implementation of work requirements, which are currently set to start in 2029. Additionally, a provision to defund Planned Parenthood, which provides various health services including contraception and STI testing, is facing opposition from centrist Republicans and Democrats.

The House Ways and Means Committee also played a crucial role by advancing the tax portion of President Trump's economic agenda after a marathon 17-hour session. This progress is seen as a significant step towards preventing historic tax hikes and driving economic growth.

On the broader political front, the Republican Party is unified in its effort to enact President Trump's economic policies, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighting the cooperation between the Treasury and Congress to keep more money in the pockets of Americans.
