Republican leaders are promoting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, claiming it will cut nearly $800 billion from Medicaid without harming coverage. However, the Congressional Budget Office predicts that imposing work requirements will increase the uninsured by at least 8.6 million. Initial defenses suggested that only 'lazy' individuals would be affected, but research indicates that eligible beneficiaries face the brunt of the cuts. Officials like Russell Vought assert that no one will lose coverage, despite evidence to the contrary, and the Wall Street Journal attempts to downplay these concerns amidst rising skepticism.
Republican claims about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act suggest that it will not cause any American to lose health care, despite CBO estimates indicating otherwise.
Despite assurances from officials like Russell Vought and Joni Ernst, research shows that Medicaid work requirements disproportionately impact eligible beneficiaries rather than non-working individuals.
Critics highlight that Medicaid cuts of nearly $800 billion are likely to result in millions of Americans losing coverage, contradicting claims from Republican leaders.
The Wall Street Journal's defense of the Medicaid cuts underlines a significant divide in how these changes are perceived, suggesting concerns are unfounded.
