As the «Big and Beautiful Law Project» of President Donald Trump to the Senate is directed, Republicans are doing everything possible to sell voters about the possibility of deep clippings to Medicaid and other social security networks programs to finance tax exemptions for the ultra rich. The process has involved many lies in bold to the constituents.
The current reconciliation bill of the Republicans will kick approximately 15 million Americans of their medical care coverage by 2034. The expected coverage reversion will be mainly promoted by the increase in the requirements for medical receptors, as well as the changes made in the market policies of the affordable health care law and the failure of the bill to renew the tax HERE.
Last month, Trump told journalists that he and Republicans «were not making any significant cut. The only thing we are reducing is waste, fraud and abuse. With Medicaid, waste, fraud and abuse. There are tremendous waste, fraud and abuse.»
In a Sunday interview with CNN, the director of the Trump Administration and Budget Office, Russell Vought, said that «no one will lose coverage as a result of this bill» and accused the legislation of being «astroturphate.»
«This bill will continue and protect the programs, the Social Security Network,» Voucht added.
Actually, the invoice reduces spending in Medicaid by at least $ 600 billion in the next 10 years. What the Republicans say that they are measures to stop the «waste, fraud and abuse» in the program are largely administrative obstacles aimed at attacking possible receptors in paperwork and bureaucracy to complicate the registration in the programs.
Vought’s statements to CNN represent the last strategy of Republicans to combat the greatest hostility of voters about unpopular cuts to popular programs. As the members of the Republican party move to the market of the legislative package to the constituents, their unified message has been that the legislation somehow protects Medicaid, and that any American who loses its coverage of medical care does not deserve it, and even that they would only be voluntarily giving it.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) Accused Democrats of using «fear tactics, not the truth, when they talk to the American public.»
«Chuck Schumer states that Republicans want to dismantle Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, but the reality is that we are working to safeguard these programs,» he wrote in X.
Representative Mike Lawler (RN.y.) told New York Post Last month that the bill «worked to protect critical services such as Medicaid», while eliminating those who were «playing the system.»
In a separate tweet, Lawler wrote that the reconciliation package «strengthens Medicaid for older people, single parents and the I/DD community by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse», eliminating coverage for «illegal immigrants» «The labor requirements for adults without problems without depending on adults without dependence on adults» without depending «without dependents.»
What Republicans like Lawler avoid recognizing is that the vast majority of adults without disabilities in Medicaid already do work. More than 60 percent of the recipients work full or partially, where the rest does not work largely because they are disabled, sick, a primary caregiver or a student.
Several other Republicans, including representatives Zach Nunn (R-Iowa), Tom Kean Jr. (Rn.J.), Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA.) And Rob Wittman (R-VA.) All used some version of the phrase «Medicaid Protection» in public statements that defend the legislation.
The representative Don Bacon (R-Neb.) Wrote in X that the Republicans had «protected Medicaid for those who need it», added that «the work requirements for adult adults capable without children help recover 4.8 million in the workforce and in the employer provided insurance.»
It is an elegant way to say that 4.8 million people would be forced to leave the program, according to estimates of the non -partisan Congress Budget office.
On Sunday, the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, told NBC News’ Meet the press That concern for the people who lost coverage were exaggerated. «People who complain that these people will lose their coverage because they cannot fulfill paperwork, this is a minor application of this policy and follows common sense,» said the speaker.
«4.8 million people will not lose their medicaid unless they choose to do it,» Johnson added, insisting that «the American people are not buying» the messages of the Democrats around the bill.
But even when the Republicans of the House of Representatives make their tone for increasingly angry voters, some of their colleagues are being undermined by some of their colleagues in the Senate. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO.) He called the attacks on the legislation against «politically suicide» medical, and Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) told CBS News on Sunday that the cuts are «a bad strategy» to deal with republican concerns about national debt. (The deficit will increase, it will not decrease, as a result of the legislation).
But perhaps the clearest recognition of how horrible is the legislation from a senator who did not even bother to deny that the bill would have potentially horrible consequences for Medicaid beneficiaries. On Friday, during a town hall, even in his native state of Iowa, an assistant shouted «people will die» when Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) defended the bill «big and beautiful.»
Ernst simply paused and told the audience: «Well, we are all going to die.» If the Republicans get their way, many people will die long before what they expected.
