House Speaker Mike Johnson says Medicaid work requirements have a "moral component" to them.

The bill is now headed to the Senate , where several Republicans have voiced concerns.

An analysis by a healthcare nonprofit found that 190,000 people in Louisiana , Johnson 's home state, stand to lose Medicaid .

Johnson said he had lunch with his Republican counterparts in the upper chamber on Tuesday , and he said he reminded them that they are a team. "It's the Senate and the House Republicans together that will deliver this ball over the goal line, so to speak," Johnson said. "And I encouraged them to make as few modifications as possible, remembering that I have a very delicate balance on our very diverse Republican caucus over in the House .".
