Republicans Are Flat-Out Lying About Their Medicaid Cuts

“As President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ heads to the Senate, Republicans are trying their hardest to sell voters on the prospect of deep cuts to Medicaid and other social safety net programs in order to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. The process has involved plenty of bold-faced lying to constituents,” Rolling Stone reports.

“Republicans’ current reconciliation bill will kick an estimated 15 million Americans off of their health care coverage by 2034. The expected coverage rollback will primarily be fueled by increased requirements for Medicaid recipients, as well as changes made to Affordable Care Act marketplace policies and the failure of the bill to renew tax benefits for ACA plan purchasers.”
