This is what he has now added in order to secure enough votes to pass something:
Cuts to food stamps that could knock millions of low-income Americans out of the program;
Cuts to Meals on Wheels, a program that delivers meals to seniors or other individuals who are unable to prepare their own food;
Cuts funding to health exchanges that will be created under Obamacare and funding for Medicaid included in the same law;

Denying the Child Tax Credit to the parents of American children, if the parents are undocumented immigrants.
