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

The Government Accountability Office released an interim report alleging widespread fraud within Obamacare, linked to actions from the previous administration during the pandemic that weakened safeguards. The speaker asserts that income verifications were eliminated, undermining the process for determining real eligibility, and that the expansion of $0 premium plans increased the risk of people not realizing they are enrolled or being enrolled by unscrupulous brokers. He cites complaints from hundreds of thousands of Americans who didn’t know they were enrolled until they received IRS paperwork related to tax credits. The speaker argues that these problems arose because the prior administration prioritized high enrollment numbers over program integrity, with taxpayers funding the fraud through tax subsidies. Under President Trump and Secretary Kennedy, the speaker claims steps were not taken to address the issues. Key statistics are presented: 4,400,000 improper enrollments identified, including roughly 1,600,000 individuals enrolled in both Medicaid and an Obamacare plan in 2024, with taxpayers covering the costs in both programs and resulting in double insurance. The administration has begun cleaning up the system by removing about a million people who are or should be covered somewhere else, which, according to the speaker, will save taxpayers billions in waste. The speaker notes that the very first rule announced by his administration was the marketplace integrity and affordability rule. This rule would have enforced common sense income verification checks, ensured people enrolled knew they were enrolled, and blocked illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded care. Additionally, the rule was projected to lower premiums across the board for Americans by an average of 5%. However, the speaker claims this rule faced obstruction from blue-city governments, which brought a politically motivated lawsuit that tied up the rule in litigation. He credits Congress for providing additional tools through the working families tax cut legislation to bolster verification in future years. Despite ongoing efforts, the speaker acknowledges that there is still a lot of work to be done, and emphasizes that the administration continues to fight daily to clean up Obamacare problems, with the GAO report highlighting remaining issues.

Entitlement spending, which makes up most of the federal budget, is a key area for potential cuts. This spending, amounting to roughly half a trillion dollars annually, acts as an incentive for illegal immigration, as it essentially pays people to come here. This influx is then leveraged to create new voters. The Democratic Party is concerned about efforts to curb illegal immigration because eliminating this financial draw would likely cause many to leave, resulting in a loss of potential voters for them.

The speaker claims there is $14 billion in fraud related to people wrongly enrolled in Medicaid in multiple states. They state that people living in one state may move to another, and both states collect Medicaid money from the federal government. The speaker adds that sometimes people are enrolled in both Medicaid and exchanges within the same state, contributing to the $14 billion figure.

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.

An investigation found 1.3 million individuals are currently on Medicaid, with numbers still rising. A search of public voter rolls in some states revealed thousands of these individuals registered to vote, and many had voted. Some cases have been referred for prosecution. Data analysis showed individuals accessing various benefit programs, including unemployment and Medicaid. Some are not contributing to the system. Data sent to the National Targeting Center found "hard hits," including criminals and individuals on terrorist watch lists within this group. While some individuals hold jobs and pay into the system, the investigation is ongoing to sort the data and determine how to address the issues.

Speaker 0 states Republicans are concerned Medicaid work requirements will be cumbersome and force people off the rolls. Speaker 1 disagrees, asserting some Democrats infantilize the poor and that registering twice a year is not a burden. Speaker 1 says work requirements were popular under Presidents Clinton and Obama, and that the Democratic party blew out the deficit in 2020. They add that work requirements poll well with the median Democratic voter.

Illegal aliens in the U.S. contributed approximately $31 billion in taxes while costing taxpayers around $182 billion in total expenditures. Specifically, they paid $16 billion in federal income tax but received $66 billion in federal benefits, resulting in a net loss of $50 billion. At the state and local level, they contributed $15 billion but incurred costs of $115 billion. Overall, in 2023, illegal aliens resulted in a net cost of about $150.7 billion to the country.

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.

Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers roughly $9,000 each, more than what we spend on Medicaid beneficiaries, vulnerable American citizens' healthcare, and military retirement benefits for veterans. This highlights the significant and unsustainable cost of the current border crisis, especially at the state and local levels. Translation: The cost of illegal immigrants to taxpayers is high, exceeding spending on healthcare for Americans and military benefits for veterans. This emphasizes the significant and unsustainable expense of the current border crisis, particularly at state and local levels.

Engineers analyzed benefit programs and voter rolls, finding 1.3 million individuals on Medicaid. Thousands registered to vote in multiple states, and some voted, which is a federal crime. This was discovered in a few states and is considered the "tip of the iceberg." The analysis revealed individuals receiving benefits like Medicaid and unemployment, suggesting they are not contributing to the system. Data sent to the National Targeting Center showed "hard hits," including criminals and individuals on terrorist watch lists within this group. The speaker acknowledges that some individuals may also be employed and paying taxes. The organization is currently analyzing the data to determine how to address the situation.

Hospitals in sanctuary cities like New York City, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, and Boston are facing financial collapse due to the high number of illegal migrants seeking free care, costing American taxpayers over $30 million. For example, a clinic in Chicago treated 16,000 illegal immigrants last year.

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

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.”

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

Modernizing American medicine will address waste, fraud, and abuse. Last year, 230,000 Americans on Obamacare plans were unaware of their enrollment; brokers profited by enrolling them without their knowledge. California has taken millions of dollars from the federal government to provide free health insurance for illegal immigrants. The government intends to recoup this money. Medicaid patients are also being enrolled in multiple states, resulting in the federal government paying multiple states for the same individual without ensuring they receive adequate healthcare.

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 wants Medicaid to be used for mothers and children as it was meant to be. They do not want it used for 1,400,000 illegal aliens or able-bodied people.

About 20 million people have been affected in our country. The chart referenced is a few months old, but it highlights significant changes that have occurred. For a clearer understanding, it's important to look at the latest developments.

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.

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.

California provides state Medicaid to all illegal migrants and has allegedly created a system to siphon Medicaid dollars. Governor Newsom initially estimated free healthcare for illegal immigrants would cost $6 billion, but it's now $10 billion. This incentivizes illegal immigration. The governor claimed the federal government would reimburse the cost, but it's hitting the general fund, with one in four Medi-Cal dollars going to illegal immigrants. Newsom admitted Medi-Cal is broke and can't pay healthcare providers. Providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants risks health insurance for the neediest. The Medi-Cal system should be audited. It is illegal for federal Medicaid dollars to cover illegal migrants.

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.
