"The thing that keeps me going is the love I have for the brand and the love I have for just being creative - thinking of something and bringing it to life and shooting, that's what keeps me going."

Perhaps the most contentious item in the bill are cuts - partly through work requirements - to Medicaid, a healthcare programme aimed at lower-income Americans.Mr Roy and other Republicans - including South Carolina's Ralph Norman, Oklahoma's Josh Brecheen and Georgia's Andrew Clyde - want further cuts to Medicaid and other social security programmes.

The bill would require that states deny Medicaid coverage if able-bodied Americans using the programme are not working at least 80 hours a month or undertaking other community options from 2029.It would also end coverage for those who cannot show they are meeting work requirements.Roy and other conservatives want those work requirements to start straight away - rather than after President Trump has left office.

Other lawmakers, such as Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley, have argued against any cuts to Medicaid, warning it would affect millions of lower-income constituents."This wing of the party wants Republicans to build our big, beautiful bill around slashing health insurance for the working poor," Hawley wrote in the New York Times on 12 May. "But that argument is both morally wrong and politically suicidal."

Dozens of other House Republicans have also voiced concerns.

Another point of contention in the bill is a tripling of a local tax deduction - known as Salt - from $10,000 to $30,000 for couples.Republicans also hope to expand existing work requirements for recipients, which currently apply to people without dependants between the ages of 18 and 54. The current proposal would expand that to 64.

Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin said the proposal "is a slap in the face" to millions of Americans "who rely on food assistance programme to put food on the table and make sure their kids don't go hungry".Republicans argue the proposal would reduce government waste, promote work over welfare, and restore "common sense" to the programme.

The House Agriculture Committee has already approved $300m in cuts to the Snap programme to fund tax cuts.Government data shows that about 12% of Americans received Snap benefits last year, with the figure higher in some Republican-leaning states such as Alabama and Oklahoma.
