Medicare is a target as Senate GOP faces megabill math issues
Senate Republicans are eyeing possible Medicare provisions to help offset the cost of their megabill as they try to appease budget hawks who want more spending cuts embedded in the legislation. Making changes to Medicare, the federal health insurance program primarily serving seniors, would be a political longshot: It would face fierce backlash from some corners of the Senate GOP, not to mention across the Capitol, where Medicare proposals were floated but didn't gain traction. But Senate Republicans are now seriously considering it as they race to pass their party-line tax and spending package before a self-imposed July 4 deadline. The idea came up in closed-door meetings this week and, crucially, some Republicans believe President Donald Trump is on board with touching the program as long as it's limited to 'waste, fraud and abuse.' 'I think anything that is waste, fraud and abuse are obviously open to discussions,' Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Thursday when asked about Medicare. Cracking down on some smaller areas of the vast program could net significant savings for Senate Republicans. The other main area they're planning to tap is ratcheting down the House-negotiated state-and-local-tax-deduction cap – as Thune first acknowledged to POLITICO Tuesday. Both are politically explosive areas that will trigger serious blowback in the House. 'I think the focus, as you know, has been on addressing waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid,' Thune added when pressed on Medicare. 'But right now we're open to suggestions if people have them about other areas where there is clearly waste, fraud and abuse that can be rooted out in any government program.' Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who was among the Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee who went to the White House Wednesday to meet with Trump about the tax portion of their megabill, told reporters he believed the president was more amenable to making Medicare changes than he might have previously let on. "I think the president is actually open to any elimination of any waste, fraud and abuse … wherever,' he said, though added that Trump 'doesn't want to cut benefits.' Finance Committee Republicans wanted to use their audience with Trump to press their case for making certain business tax incentives permanent, but a significant chunk of the conversation instead focused on senators pitching their individual ideas for how to inject more savings into their version of the House-passed bill. A band of House moderates is deeply uncomfortable with the idea of touching Medicare in the megabill, even if it is in the name of 'waste, fraud and abuse.' Speaker Mike Johnson said in a brief interview Thursday that he wouldn't 'address hypotheticals.' But he reiterated he doesn't want to inject any more major political fights into the already fractious talks. Johnson said the House GOP's 'work reflects more than a year of very careful and deliberate discussion and ideas and so, you know, we're very satisfied with the product we've sent over there, and I hope they'll change it as little as possible.' Some House lawmakers briefly floated the idea of overhauling Medicare Advantage — which enables older Americans to buy private plans offering health coverage — to garner savings. Critics have accused Medicare Advantage plans of using financial gamesmanship to increase federal payments, but targeting the program would likely draw the ire of the insurance industry. The search for more cuts comes as GOP senators look for areas where they can go beyond the House's $1.6 trillion in cuts. But the push is being complicated because some Senate committees, including the Agriculture panel, are likely to scale back the savings found by their House counterparts. Leadership is pushing the Agriculture Committee to net $150 billion in cuts as they work to scale down a controversial House plan to shift billions in food aid costs to states, according to four Republicans with direct knowledge of the matter. That's half of the $300 billion in agriculture cuts from the House bill, and GOP senators are still trying to fit in a $70 billion farm bill package. As part of an effort to generate more savings, Republicans have floated several ideas related to Medicaid, including tightening the House's work requirements and trying to roll back — not just freeze — the use of state provider taxes. Both of those ideas would face their own block of opposition within the Senate GOP. But they also raised Medicare as part of a lengthy debate Senate Republicans had among themselves Wednesday, when they met first with CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz and subsequently got briefed by the chairs of the Armed Services, Banking and Commerce Committees on their pieces of the megabill. 'There was legitimate debate about: Can we do more with Medicaid? Are we doing too much with Medicaid? How much waste, fraud, abuse is there in Medicare — why don't we go after that? I think we should,' Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said about the discussion Wednesday. Asked if there was any consideration of including Medicare as part of the megabill, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) said, 'There is on the Senate Republican side."

Ambulance rides in San Diego just got more expensive — this is why
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — For the fifth year in a row, the City of San Diego is raising its ambulance transport fees — this time by 18% over the next three years. But city leaders insist: most patients won't be impacted. The San Diego City Council approved the increase unanimously Tuesday, pushing the total hike since 2021 to just over 32%, according to reporting from The San Diego Union-Tribune. The cost for the most advanced level of ambulance service will rise from $3,151 to $3,717. Despite the eye-popping numbers, city officials say the increase will mostly impact insurance companies, not patients. Only about 11% of ambulance patients — those with private insurance — may be affected, The San Diego Union-Tribune also reported. Patients with Medicare, Medi-Cal or no insurance won't see any change, thanks to a state law — AB 716 — that caps those charges at fixed rates. Celebrities spotted running in San Diego's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Councilmember Marni von Wilpert emphasized the hikes are tied to increasing costs from the city's private ambulance providers — Falck USA and American Medical Response (AMR) — who are billing the city $4.7 million more this coming fiscal year. 'We need to make sure we are doing the most competitive cost containment for our residents and delivering the best service,' von Wilpert said. The rising fees come as the city reconsiders how it runs emergency medical services. While a recent partnership with Falck and AMR has been financially successful, city leaders are exploring whether to bring ambulance services in-house — something cities like Los Angeles and, more locally, Chula Vista have already done. The San Diego Union-Tribune noted that Fire Chief Robert Logan said any move toward a city-run ambulance service would start slowly, possibly beginning with low-level emergency calls, while private companies continue handling life-threatening situations. In a twist, this year's rate hike — like last year's — skipped a required committee review before heading to the full council. That move appears to violate council policy, though no council member appeared to raise concerns during the vote. As the debate over who should run San Diego's ambulances continues, one thing's clear: the cost of care is rising — even if most patients won't see the bill. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Medicare changes on table for big, beautiful bill, says GOP senator
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, on Thursday said GOP lawmakers are looking at changes to Medicare to root out waste, fraud and abuse. Republican senators are taking a closer look at finding savings in Medicare to increase the total amount of deficit reduction in President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' Tillis said a day after the Finance panel met with Trump at the White House. The Congressional Budget Office released a report this week estimating that the House-passed 1,116-page bill would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Tillis says that overhauling systems at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) could save a substantial amount of money without impacting Medicare benefits, which Trump has said should not be cut. He said that legislation sponsored by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-N.C.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) to reduce Medicare Advantage overpayments could be included into the bigger bill. 'Waste, fraud and abuse, you've got upcoding,' Tillis said. 'Even in the plumbing of CMS — and by that I mean, procurement, matching up contracts, duplicate payments — there are a number of things that I think that we could find that never touch a beneficiary of Medicare or Medicaid that we're going to go after.' Tillis said there are 'a number' of things that could be reformed under CMS's jurisdiction. 'In the plumbing of CMS, if you take look at contracting, contract execution, contract compliance, duplicate payments, there are a number of things that haven't been touched by the prior administration,' he said. He said that Cassidy has 'a very well thought out plan' to root out waste in Medicare Advantage. 'Bill is a physician, wants to make sure that we're maintaining quality care and I think he's done a very, very good job of highlighting the opportunity for hundreds of billions of dollars in savings,' he added. Tillis said 'you could do those provisions' in the big, beautiful bill, which Senate Republicans are trying to get to Trump's desk by July 4. 'It's basically CMS modernization,' he said.
