Politico has acquired an early list from Republican lawmakers that shows the programs they're considering slashing from the federal government.

It includes things like welfare, funds for climate programs, and the Affordable Care Act. It also states Republicans are looking at "changes" to Medicare — something Donald Trump and many Republicans promised they wouldn't touch.

According to the list, published by Politico Friday, there are three big cuts to Medicare. Among those is the decision to equalize all payments across the country for the same procedure.
