House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said Sunday that President Trump “does not want” the “one big, beautiful bill” encompassing his agenda “to be a health care bill.”

“Medicaid … all falls underneath the Energy and Commerce Committee, not Ways and Means,” Smith said when asked about cuts to Medicaid via the bill on “The Hill Sunday” by NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt.

“But, I will say that the president’s been crystal clear, Chris, that he will not be cutting benefits for individuals, will not allow that,” he added. “He does not want this to be a health care bill. This is an economic bill that secures the border and unleashes U.S. energy.”

Vulnerable and moderate House Republicans have warned Republican leaders in the House that they will not back the bill encompassing the president’s agenda if it features cuts to Medicaid benefits.
