The Social Security and Medicare Fair Share Act proposes targeting payroll tax loopholes for high-income earners.

While on the presidential campaign trail last year, Donald Trump promised workers in Las Vegas that he would eliminate taxes on tips. It was a popular proposal – so popular, in fact, that his competitor Kamala Harris embraced the idea as well.

Three key panels are addressing some of the thorniest issues poised to make or break the Republicans' massive bill for Trump's agenda.

A new bill would tax income over $400K to help fix Social Security’s funding gap and avoid 17% benefit cuts by 2035.

Additionally, President Trump last month pushed Congress to approve a "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill that fulfills several other campaign promises. "In the coming weeks and months, we will pass the largest tax cuts in American history — and that will include no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime," he said.

The Trump administration is seeking to end a controversial tax on Medicaid providers that has allowed New York to draw down billions in federal dollars, putting hospitals and nursing homes at risk of losing money.

More than half of the committees tasked with drafting portions of the reconciliation package have advanced their bills, but disagreements remain on some of the more complicated tax issues.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee has an instruction to cut a minimum of $880 billion in spending. One of the biggest programs under the committee’s authority is Medicaid.

WASHINGTON – House Republicans plan to enact work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks for Medicaid, according to a proposal released late on May 11 by a key GOP-led committee.
