The speaker asserts the need to clean up the system, stating they will no longer pay $200,000,000 a year for housekeeping. They claim they will not pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in states submitting those claims. The speaker questions why residents of states like Mississippi, Texas, or Florida should pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants in California. They state that the nation needs to be aligned to make the system work.

Undocumented immigrants are currently ineligible for Medicaid, ACA exchanges, and SNAP benefits. No undocumented immigrant receives any federal taxpayer dollars for comprehensive Medicaid coverage.

We aim to provide Arkansans with a hand up, not a handout, ensuring everyone can live their best life in Arkansas. Today, we're announcing our intention to seek a waiver to implement a Medicaid work requirement. This means that able-bodied working-age adults must work, attend school, volunteer, or care for their children to receive free healthcare funded by taxpayers. Currently, 220,000 able-bodied adults in Arkansas benefit from this program, costing over $2.2 billion annually. Notably, around 90,000 of these recipients are unemployed, while many hardworking Arkansans pay for their own health insurance.

This congress is allegedly intent on passing a heartless budget that would result in the largest cut in Medicaid in American history to partially pay for tax cuts for Donald Trump's billionaire best friends. Medicaid is described as a lifeline that this Republican majority is trying to rip away from millions of Americans. The speakers claim they will not let them get away with policies that are a matter of life and death to their constituents. They are allegedly here to fight for those who voted against the president, those who didn't vote, and those who voted for the president but dislike what they are seeing. Republicans in congress and this administration purportedly only care about billionaires that fund their campaigns and are willing to hurt everyone to help the wealthiest. The power of the people is allegedly greater than the people in power.

Many Americans are not fond of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, preferring Medicare and private insurance. Most people want to be on private insurance if they can afford it. It's essential to focus on improving care for the elderly, veterans, and the poor. The current Medicaid model is not effectively meeting these needs.

The speaker accuses Hakim of lying about Medicaid cuts. The speaker questions if Hakim wants taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented immigrants. The speaker repeats the question of whether Hakim wants US taxpayers to fund healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Speaker 0 outlines two priorities: first, go after welfare fraud and rewrite how programs work by requiring states to send biometrics to the federal government proving that the person exists and they're eligible for the services in question, with a focus on fraud “rampant in Minnesota and throughout these blue states through reconciliation.” Second, implement an affordability package to make America more affordable for the hardworking men and women of the country.

The speaker discusses a candidate's stance on healthcare for undocumented immigrants. The candidate stated that everyone in the world deserves healthcare, which the speaker interprets as supporting Medicaid for undocumented immigrants. The speaker argues this position exemplifies "suicidal empathy," prioritizing emotional optics over resource sustainability and national boundaries. They claim this approach overlooks the strain on hospitals and public systems, and the burden on taxpayers to fund care for those who entered the country illegally. The speaker believes this creates a terrible incentive structure and is "boundaryless," sacrificing America for perceived moral superiority. The speaker concludes that people with this viewpoint should not be in government.

Stripping healthcare away from the American people effectively guts parts of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid as it is known.

About a third of Medicare and Medicaid spending, and likely a lot of private sector spending, doesn't go to good healthcare. The challenge is eliminating waste, fraud, and duplication without affecting good care. The speaker references instances of seeing inflated charges on medical bills for minor procedures. Eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare means cutting some spending. The speaker disagrees with the idea that no money can be cut from Medicare. If a third of Medicare spending doesn't go to patient care, then cuts are necessary. The speaker believes there can be common ground in cutting the "bad stuff" while keeping the "good stuff." The Republican Party has historically stood for eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, but now there seems to be resistance to this idea.

I made it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Poor people depend on it for their healthcare. His budget calls for deep cuts to Medicaid, and he needs to protect it. We need to raise the cap on Social Security and protect Medicare. These are vital safety net programs. I'm willing to accept any punishment for speaking out, because it's worth it to stand against the President's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. This is about people losing their healthcare in the richest country in the world. Healthcare has become wealth care, and we can't let that happen. I'm also working on articles of impeachment. This President is unfit for office with 34 felony convictions and two impeachments. He has no mandate to cut Medicaid.

Every U.S. resident, including those here illegally, should have access to healthcare, according to the bill. I am against denying anyone public safety, education, or health services in our country.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss CBO estimates of people losing health insurance under Medicaid and Obamacare. - Medicaid: According to CBO estimates, those on Medicaid losing health insurance include four point eight million able-bodied adults without dependence who choose to not meet modest work or community engagement requirements. An additional 1,400,000 are illegal immigrants. 1,600,000 will have access to other forms of subsidized health insurance, including the option to stay on Medicaid. And 1.3 million are already ineligible for the Medicaid program period; they shouldn’t be on the program, but they're doing it. - Obamacare (ACA): When looking at those on Obamacare losing health insurance, 1.8 million are illegal immigrants, and 1,100,000 are fraudsters who don't submit common sense verification requirements. Speaker 1 notes, “And this is from CBL.”

The speaker discusses a recent vote in the US House of Representatives to defund the National Endowment for Democracy, arguing that this measure is not neutral or benevolent, but a leftist enterprise. The speaker states that leftists are free to contribute to it, but insists that hardworking Americans should not be forced by the government to contribute to causes they find repugnant, including the NED. Despite this stance, the speaker notes that 81 Republican members of the House voted with all the Democrats to keep the funding stream going, funding the enterprise with federal money. The speaker contends that there should be legitimate disagreement within the Republican Party, but asserts that this issue should not be one of them. When campaigning as a Republican, the speaker says, voters expect basic precepts, including that the US government is too big and expensive because it does too many things it was never intended to do. The speaker argues that Republicans should agree that funds should not be taken from hardworking Americans and given to left-leaning enterprises that undercut everything the party stands for or purports to stand for. If viewers share the speaker’s frustration, they are urged to find out how their representative voted and raise the issue with them. The speaker anticipates that some Republicans will blame the outcome on the Senate filibuster, though they claim the Senate filibuster rule should not affect the House. The speaker argues that such blaming is severely exaggerated and emphasizes the importance of ending the zombie filibuster, calling for a speaking filibuster instead of silent or asleep filibustering. With the procedural concerns addressed, the speaker says the party should move on to implementing policies for which Republicans were elected, including reducing federal wasteful spending, ending funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, and passing the SAFE Act. The speaker describes the SAFE Act as something that “like, 80% of all Americans agree with,” which is to take steps to stop noncitizens from voting in elections. The speaker reiterates the admonition to stay true to the Republican Party and not align with another party, ending with a caution: “Don’t get on the other one. And, good heavens, don’t get on a donkey.”

"We have to realize the democrats, their whole argument is we are going to shut down the government unless you give a trillion dollars for medical benefits for illegal aliens." "And they're saying that unless you give that money to those legal aliens, unless you give those benefits to those illegal aliens, we are going to shut down the people's government." "It's such a stark contrast between two parties priorities." "We want to put the government to work for the American people first." "We're not gonna be taken hostage by the Democrats' desperate desire to give your tax money to illegal aliens." "We're just not gonna do it."

The speaker asserts that disabled individuals on Medicaid have been negatively impacted by able-bodied people, specifically 35-year-olds who are choosing not to work and instead play video games. The speaker claims these individuals are crowding out the truly needy from receiving Medicaid benefits. The speaker states that these able-bodied individuals will now be required to get a job. The speaker believes this change is beneficial for them, as their families likely disapprove of their current lifestyle.

The speaker asserts that 1.4 million undocumented immigrants are currently enrolled in the Medicaid system. This number, the speaker claims, is equivalent to the population of Hawaii or New Hampshire. The speaker states that Medicaid is intended for pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, the elderly, and low-income families, and that undocumented immigrants are sharing these resources with qualified Americans. The speaker supports the president's plan to remove undocumented immigrants from Medicaid, questioning why there is outrage over this decision when Americans who have contributed to the country are also in need. The speaker predicts that people will continue to be upset because President Trump will be re-elected.

Do you support cutting Medicaid, particularly regarding federal investment known as FMAP? I consider it a restroom break. President Trump hasn't instructed me to cut Medicaid; he wants to improve it. So, if President Trump asked you to cut Medicaid, would you do it? It's not my decision to cut Medicaid; that falls to Congress. I will focus on working with them. You seem hesitant to answer. Let’s move on. Do you know how many states will be affected?

The president wants to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse from Medicaid to protect it for tax-paying citizens. His priority is the sick, needy, and poor Americans who deserve these benefits, not the 1,400,000 illegal aliens allegedly receiving them. The president aims to remove these illegal aliens from the program through this bill. This is intended to preserve, protect, and strengthen Medicaid for the American people. The president has communicated this message to senators.

The speaker asserts there is an enormous amount of waste, fraud, and abuse in the government, particularly within Medicare. They claim past proponents of budget cuts are now opposing efforts to eliminate waste. The speaker states that eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare will require cuts, with the goal of cutting the "bad stuff" while preserving the "good stuff." The speaker accuses certain individuals, identified by a picture, of rooting against these efforts, labeling them as examples of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Republicans should not cut Medicare or Social Security to pay for Biden's spending. Biden has wasted trillions on the Green New Deal and opened our borders to migrants from prisons and mental institutions. Our border is now the worst in the world. Instead of burdening American families and seniors, we should cut spending on corrupt foreign countries, mass releases of illegal aliens, left-wing gender programs in the military, climate extremism, and waste fraud and abuse. We must save Social Security and not let the Democrats destroy it.

It is agreed that a significant amount of money is wasted, with estimates suggesting around a third of all Medicare dollars are spent without providing any useful benefit. The goal is to eliminate this waste, not to cut Medicare benefits. Medicare is a large entitlement program that needs to be maintained without bankrupting the country or denying seniors their entitlements.

I challenge anyone to search for Medicaid in the resolution we passed. It's not there. That's not part of this. We aim to find efficiencies in every program without cutting benefits for those who deserve them. Public opinion supports work requirements for Medicaid. The program is intended for single mothers with small children, not for able-bodied individuals who are not working. We're going to find those individuals and encourage them to return to work. Everyone supports this. Republicans support this. We believe there is dignity in work, and it will be beneficial for everyone involved.

Do Democrats wanna prioritize the health care of illegal aliens over a government shutdown? Because if the government does shut down, Americans will be able furlough. We're not prioritizing. What we're doing is saying simply we wanna keep the government open, and we wanna work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement to keep this government open, and health care is at the top of our agenda. But are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens? Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We want to save lives. We wanna make sure that health care is available to those who would die but having the help of their government. So you're good with the government shutdown even if it means giving health care to people who aren't American citizens? We want to save health care for all people.

The speaker addresses concerns about Medicaid cuts, arguing that many proposed cuts are sensible. The first cut limits federal health program eligibility based on citizenship status, affecting those here illegally. The second eliminates Medicare coverage of bad debt, which is unpaid debt after insurance pays. Currently, taxpayers cover up to 65% of Medicaid bad debt, incentivizing hospitals to inflate prices. The proposed change would stop this practice. The third is Medicare site neutrality, ensuring Medicare and Medicaid patients are charged the same prices as those with private insurance or cash. The speaker claims these three cuts alone amount to over $200 billion in savings and suggests that people would agree with these cuts if they researched them.
