GOP pushes forward, says no big Medicaid changes

• That has been one of the areas where the Freedom Caucus is seeking deeper savings in federal Medicaid spending.
• Asked about changes to Medicaid provisions, Scalise pointed to moving up the start date for work requirements, which was already expected.
• He said the plan is to issue a manager's amendment and to then vote on the bill tonight.

What they're saying: Speaker Mike Johnson, also returning from the White House meeting, left open the possibility of the vote being Thursday morning, but stressed the caucus is moving forward with a goal of voting out the package before Memorial Day recess.

• Johnson said the manager's amendment would make "minor" changes. "There's not much changing here," he said.
• He said President Trump could issue executive orders as a way to try to assuage some Freedom Caucus concerns, but didn't elaborate.

Yes, but: It's still unclear if Republicans have the votes with their razor-thin majority and if the Freedom Caucus members will go along with the measure without major changes.
