Deep cuts to Medicaid have become a contentious issue in Congress, with both parties accusing each other of deceit. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries claims that a Republican budget proposal could lead to the largest Medicaid cuts in history. Meanwhile, Republicans, including Congressman Steve Scalise, assert that Medicaid is not mentioned in the budget. This controversy coincides with Republicans aiming for significant budget savings while needing to pass a resolution to avoid a government shutdown, further complicating negotiations regarding health programs affecting millions Americans.
The Republicans are lying to the American people about Medicaid, Jeffries said. I can't say it any other way. Republicans are lying. Prove me wrong.
The word Medicaid is not even in this bill, Scalise said. Republicans don't want to cut Medicaid and the Democrats have been lying about it.
