Don’t Fall for the Democrats’ Campaign of Fear

This will strip health care from millions of hard-working Americans. It will rob people of their fighting chance against illnesses like cancer. We'll have over 15 million Americans who lose their Medicaid. I mean, you're leaving people on the street. That's what this is, putting people on the street. I want to take a second to address my constituents and the millions of folks from across the country who rely on Medicaid. You are being misled. We make no apologies for prioritizing Americans in need over illegal immigrants and those who are capable but choose not to work. For far too long, illegal immigrants and able-bodied Americans who can return to the workforce have been draining funds from the low-income who need that Medicaid. We're hearing a lot about fighting to protect Medicaid from my Democrat colleagues. And to be honest, they are fighting to protect Medicaid. They are fighting tooth and nail to protect Medicaid. But not for you. But for illegal aliens, gender transition surgeons for children, ineligible recipients, and able-bodied adults who choose not to work. These reforms are not about taking something away. They are about protecting the integrity of the program so that the people we represent, those who truly need this support, can count on it to be there now and in the future. This bill protects coverage for those individuals by ensuring ineligible recipients do not cut the line in front of our most vulnerable Americans. House Republicans are fighting for America's children. We're fighting for pregnant women and mothers. We're fighting for individuals with disabilities. And we're fighting for seniors who need long-term care. On this vote, the yeas are 215, the nays are 214, with one answering present. The bill is passed.
