'This Week' Transcript 6-29-25: Sen. Lindsey Graham & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries
Briefly

In a recent discussion on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Lindsey Graham addressed concerns raised by his colleague Thom Tillis regarding proposed changes to Medicaid in a significant budget bill. Graham emphasized that their aim is to limit Medicaid's growth rather than cut it, noting that Medicaid has expanded dramatically in the past five years. He asserted that the plan would cap growth at 6% for two years and 4% thereafter, stressing the necessity for budget adjustments while respecting Tillis's viewpoint on the matter.
"Our goal with Medicaid is not to cut it, but to limit its growth; we have a clear plan to cap its increases over the next few years."
"I respect Thom Tillis greatly, but we believe limiting Medicaid's growth is essential, especially considering its rapid expansion in recent years."
