The One Big Beautiful Bill makes important changes to Medicaid to stop waste and fraud. These changes protect taxpayer dollars while keeping help for those who truly need it. Critics are spreading fear without telling you the full story.
Medicaid needs fixing because too many people are cheating the system. The bill creates a national database to catch folks signed up in multiple states. It also requires checking death records regularly to remove people who passed away. These common-sense steps save money for real patients.
No one will lose coverage just because of these updates. The bill targets fraudsters, not honest Americans. When dead people or double-dippers get removed, it frees up funds for sick kids and disabled veterans. This protects the program for future generations.
Work rules only apply to healthy adults without young children. If you can work, you should contribute like everyone else. This helps folks gain skills and pride while freeing up resources for the elderly and disabled. Work requirements were supported by both parties under Clinton.
Fraud is stealing from hardworking taxpayers. Half a trillion dollars in improper payments happened over ten years. Illegal immigrants got $56 billion in free healthcare last year alone. This bill stops those abuses so your tax dollars help citizens instead.
The claims about millions losing coverage are pure guesswork. They ignore how much fraud currently drains the system. By removing ineligible people, we actually strengthen care for the truly vulnerable. Real Americans won’t be left behind – cheaters will.
Disabled folks and seniors have nothing to fear. Their coverage stays strong under this bill. The scary stories are just tactics to protect a broken system. We’re making Medicaid work better for those who depend on it most.
This bill secures our health system and our border. It stops the flow of illegal immigrants getting free care and funds border agents to stop fentanyl. That’s how we protect Americans and keep our nation safe. The fear-mongering is just politics from those who like the broken status quo.
