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.

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.

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.

Congresswoman Kat Kamak speaks from off the House floor about Democrats’ discharge petition to extend three years of Obamacare subsidies. She notes that the fight is happening on the House floor, with Jason Smith, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, railing as the petition moves forward. She presents several statistics and claims: only 7% of Americans are on Obamacare programs that receive subsidies. Of that 7%, 40% of people registered are fraudulent, described as duplicative and not supposed to be in the program. She also claims that people making over $600,000 are receiving subsidies for their ACA plans. She argues that these subsidies do not go to individuals directly but to big insurance companies. She cites that these companies are making 237% profits as of last year. Based on that, she questions why the government would send $400,000,000,000 to an insurance company to lower premiums for people making $600,000, stating it “makes no sense.” Kamak asserts the need to fix health care, not to throw money at a one-size-fits-all program that only addresses 7% of the population. She contends there should be a program that addresses 100% of the needs of Americans today. Her proposed approach emphasizes lowering premiums while increasing care, advocating for true health care rather than sick care and a focus on prevention rather than maintenance. She opposes subsidizing wealthy CEOs and insurance companies that are already earning high profits and alleging that denials are up while care is down. The message concludes with a commitment to continue the fight “to the very, very bitter end,” signaling a partisan battle over the future of Obamacare subsidies and health care policy. Stay tuned for more updates.

According to CBO estimates, of those on Medicaid losing health insurance, 4.8 million are able-bodied adults without dependents who choose not to meet work requirements, 1.4 million are illegal immigrants, 1.6 million will have access to other subsidized insurance including Medicaid, and 1.3 million are already ineligible for Medicaid. CBO estimates also state that of those on Obamacare losing health insurance, 1.8 million are illegal immigrants, and 1.1 million are fraudsters who don't submit verification requirements.

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 with Social Security numbers are 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 may be employed and paying taxes, the investigation is ongoing to determine how to address the overall issue.

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

Speaker 0: I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance marketplace. Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that. Actually, I have some tape of of your Democratic party members saying this on the debate stage. So they've all said it. Let's play the clip. Speaker 0: A lot of you have been talking tonight about these government health care plans that you proposed in one form or another. This is a show of hands question, and and hold them up for a moment so people can see. Raise your hand if cover if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. Speaker 1: Senator, that that's that's literally every member of your party from moderate to more progressive that have said that in the past.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss a written proposal regarding extending Biden-era COVID subsidies under the ACA. Speaker 0 asks if there is a proposal in writing they can read. Speaker 1 confirms there is a simple proposal: two sentences to be added to any proposal that would extend the ACA benefits for one year. He says this would be the right thing to do and could be put into Leader Thune’s open-government proposal, as it “doesn't need a vote. It can't be blocked by anybody.” He notes that the current IAC fix would be without income caps, meaning people who earn very high incomes would continue to receive subsidies, and says they would negotiate once the credits are extended, which he claims the other side previously refused to do. Speaker 0 questions whether, for one year, people making millions of dollars would still receive the COVID-era subsidies. Speaker 1 responds by saying the senator from Ohio “ignores that 99% of people” and asserts the goal is not to hurt ordinary people but to address the difficulties faced by those paying thousands of dollars more. He says they are willing to fix what was proposed in negotiation, but without hurting everyday people, and asserts he yields the floor. Speaker 0 asks for clarification of what was heard from the minority leader, to recap for those who missed it. Speaker 1 summarizes: the minority leader acknowledged there is no written proposal from Democrats for people to review; he acknowledged that his plan would allow millionaires to receive Biden-era COVID subsidies, with “no income caps.” Speaker 0 indicates he would have asked further questions if the minority leader had remained, including whether he would continue $0 premiums and whether the funds would go directly to insurance companies. Speaker 1 asserts additional points for emphasis: this money “does not go to people on Obamacare,” it is “a check written from the federal government to the wealthiest insurance companies on the planet,” and the plan would preserve subsidies for millionaires, provide $0 premiums that are alleged to have “enormous levels of fraud,” and “enrich insurance companies even more.”

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.

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 speakers claim to have discovered widespread fraud within the Social Security system while mapping it to understand where the fraud was. They found that the number of non-citizens receiving Social Security numbers has increased from 270,000 in 2021 to 2,100,000 in 2024. They allege that under the current administration, illegal immigrants can enter the country and apply for work authorization and receive Social Security numbers without an interview or ID. They claim the system defaults to maximum inclusion and minimum collection for these individuals, with many already receiving Medicaid. They sampled voter registration records and found instances of this population registered and voting, which have been referred for prosecution. They assert that human traffickers have made $13-15 billion due to these incentives, exploiting people and leading to a human tragedy, including the trafficking of children. They allege that people become indentured servants to pay off debts to traffickers, creating a system of exploitation.

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.
