U.S. President Donald Trumps budget proposal, set to be unveiled on Tuesday, will include cuts to Medicaid and propose changes to other assistance programs for low-income citizens, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trumps proposal follows on a Republican healthcare bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives in early May that seeks to overhaul the national healthcare system and cut more than $800 billion over the next 10 years from Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor and disabled.
