President Trump's budget being released on Tuesday is expected to include an $800 billion cut to Medicaid over 10 years, a move approved earlier this month in a House vote on the GOP healthcare bill.
By a vote of 217 by 213, the House passed the American Health Care Act that included $800 billion in Medicaid cuts.

The president budget's signals his goal to slash entitlement programs and a goal to reduce the federal deficit, though his budget does not touch Social Security and Medicare.
It also signals his resolve to end Medicaid expansion, an Affordable Care Act provision that allowed millions to get health coverage.
Curtailing Medicaid and Medicaid expansion may leave hospitals and providers in the pre-ACA position of caring for larger numbers of uninsured and bearing uncompensated costs.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that more than 10 million people, including the elderly who can't afford nursing home care, could be affected by the $800 billion in cuts to Medicaid.

The president's budget cuts 25 percent out of the food stamp program by implementing stricter eligibility and imposing additional work requirements, according to The Washington Post. This reportedly cuts $274 billion over 10 years in a proposal labeled as welfare reform.
Overall, the president's budget slashes $1.7 trillion over 10 years from Medicaid, federal employee pensions, welfare benefits and farm subsidies, according to The Washington Post.
Democrats and many Republicans are reportedly lined up against it.
