We will not be distracted by the constant distractions of the Trump administration, which flood the zone with some that are outright costly, dangerous, and fatal. Our eyes will remain on the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that, if passed in its current form, will decimate the working and middle classes.
Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren warned that Republican leaders have adopted a deliberate strategy of lying, insisting the “One Big Beautiful Bill” leaves Medicaid untouched even as independent analyses show it would drop health coverage for millions and funnel the savings into yet another round of tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
The bill’s Medicaid provisions would leave 16 million people uninsured, according to CBO estimates summarized by KFF.
Federal Medicaid funding would decrease by roughly $863 billion over ten years, significantly impacting state budgets and safety-net hospitals.
Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump both claim the bill “doesn’t cut Medicaid,” a statement PolitiFact rated false.
Public polling shows voters oppose the bill’s health-care cuts by nearly two-to-one, including a majority of independents.
Even some GOP senators fear blowback after briefings led by Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is lobbying for the bill despite its harsh impact on rural hospitals.
Warren’s critique lands because it centers working families: she exposes how Republicans disguise an assault on vulnerable Americans as fiscal responsibility while handing another windfall to billionaires.
