trump was unaware that his BBB cut Medicaid

[pknopp]

Its not limited at all

You are being lied to

Also as a bonus just for playing we should defund ALL the NGOs

which are a backdoor a backdoor entry to welfare fir those who do not otherwise qualify

All you have to do is show the programs minor kids receive. Otherwise, you are just mindlessly rambling which may actually be giving you too much credit.

 

[Harry Dresden]

As the actions of Congress addressed. The bill changed nothing.

lol....ok i get it....

They qualify for ALL government programs

 

[Marener]

Is it also your contention that no illegal aliens get Medicaid assistance, stupid?

Not from the federal government.

 

[Lisa558]

For the 500th time, illegals do not qualify for Medicaid.

The illegals in California have been getting Medicaid due to a “loophole” that the leftists there have been exploiting. The BBB closes the loophole so that American taxpayers don’t have to even indirectly pay for health care for illegals.

President Donald Trump reportedly appeared to be unaware that the Republican budget legislation, formerly his “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” cuts approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid. In a meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Trump told moderate Republicans not to cut Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security.

“Trump still doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp about what his signature legislative achievement does,” NOTUS reports. “According to three sources with direct knowledge of the comments, the president told Republicans at this meeting that there are three things Congress shouldn’t touch if they want to win elections: Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”

trump was unaware that the bill cut Medicaid. During the bills develoment, he stated over and over that SS, Medicare and Medicaid would not be cut. I just thought he was lying, which of course he does on a regular basis. But maybe he just did not know what was in the bill. Or more probable, he does not have the cognitive ability to understand what was in the bill. I suggest the latter. This is our president, a man who is oblivious to critical facts....

Do you understand how bills work?
It ping pongs back and forth with revisions in the house and senate. Since to get some polititians to sign required more cuts the bill will not be familiar to the President compared to his original he lobbied for.
Furthermore the Dems lie about the cuts and the benefits in order to try and use those lies to sway mid term voting.
You the dupe are their target audience.
Congrats on being a good little dupe!

Its not a "loophole". Its a law created and funded in California and again, this new bill does nothing to address.

One can argue its why California has so much debt but that's on Californians.

LOL And now that the bill has passed, you still cannot cite the language that allegedly "cuts" Medicaid. LOL

My doctors tell me that I should not be working. I still play music but I can’t carry equipment and I have to sit down to play. I’m not going to list my condition out here in the forum, only in a pm to you. My medication would cost me $2,000 a month (8 medications.) If Medicaid gets taken away from me my life is over. So, I guess we’ll see, won’t we.

WHy would they take it away from you?

Every state except Alaska uses Medicaid provider taxes. The bill limits provider taxes but only in states that expanded Medicaid with the ACA.

So in the shitty states that didn’t expand, they can keep exploiting the loophole and keep up their welfare states by taking money from other states to fund their shitty healthcare systems.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Once in a while I think it's important for we progressives to remind ourselves the trumpists we are dealing with on this board are generally the worst of the worst among the Repubs. The most willfully misinformed, the most easily manipulated, the most immature, the most boorish of the lot.

I try to find solace in that. Unfortunately, the rest of the rock solid base, ones who voted for trump despite him being a convicted criminal who tried to steal the 2020 election, and is a startlingly evil person, are not much better.

Nope. You props get destroyed with facts on a daily basis.

It doesn't cut Medicaid. It requires the able bodied with children over 14 to work, go to school, or volunteer 20 hours per week in order to get benefits and prove their eligibility every six months. It does cut Medicaid to illegals but that shouldn't count because the illegals shouldn't have been collecting in the first place.

Because they can

There’s a real policy story here, with a couple of moving parts that sometimes get flattened in the headlines:

1. Does the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (BBB) actually cut Medicaid?
Yes—at least according to every independent score we have so far.

• The Congressional Budget Office projects roughly $1 trillion in federal Medicaid savings over ten years and 7-12 million fewer enrollees once all the work-requirement and block-grant provisions phase in. thetimes.co.ukthedailybeast.com
• Politico’s summary of the final House version (July 3) pegs the health-care reductions at “over $1 trillion, largely from Medicaid.” politico.com
• Even conservative estimates from the Tax Foundation and Heritage groups land in the $750-900 billion range when you combine tighter eligibility rules with slower state-match growth.

The White House factsheet insists these aren’t “cuts,” just “eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse” and removing ineligible recipients. whitehouse.gov That wording matters politically, but the CBO’s fiscal tables still show Medicaid outlays falling well below the current law baseline—so the budget math treats them as cuts.

---

2. Was President Trump genuinely unaware?
That’s harder to prove, but multiple outlets picked up the same anecdote from a July 2 closed-door meeting:



One Republican reportedly answered, “But we’re touching Medicaid in this bill.” That exchange suggests at least a gap between the talking points the president likes to use (“no cuts!”) and the legislative text his team negotiated.

Could that be simple messaging spin, or genuine unfamiliarity with a 900-page bill? Reasonable people can disagree—but the anecdote isn’t invented.

---

3. A couple of nits to clean up

• Social Security and Medicare are not cut in this bill (though automatic sequestration might shave some Medicare payments if Congress doesn’t waive PAYGO).
• The BBB isn’t solely a “health‐care cut” bill; it also extends the 2017 tax cuts and adds new ones, which is why the Medicaid savings are so large—they’re making room under Senate budget rules.

---

Bottom line: Independent scoring shows the BBB would, in fact, shrink Medicaid dramatically. Whether President Trump grasped that detail at the time of the House caucus meeting is debatable, but the reporting isn’t baseless. Hope that helps separate the fiscal numbers from the political noise!

Bottom line...trump doesn't read and it is hard to show Medicaid cuts with pictures. That works with bombing Iran, but not with Medicaid cuts. Or maybe trump is becoming senile, like his racist father.

 

[Couchpotato]

One can show where people enter illegally. As for receiving federal medicaid while here illegally, not so much.

So why are you bent out of shape over the bill attempting to eliminate something you say isn’t happening?

The Medicaid cuts in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (BBB) aren’t just speculation—they’re documented in multiple independent analyses, including the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO projected roughly $1 trillion in Medicaid savings over ten years, primarily by restricting eligibility and altering funding formulas.

Whether or not Trump understood the policy details, the numbers speak for themselves. We can debate the merits of those cuts, but denying they exist runs counter to the data.

As for the broader point: accountability matters—regardless of party.

What would be the point of trying to scare me?

 

[BackAgain]

Illegals do not qualify for Medicaid.

So, you imagine that means that no illegals get it.

Would that be your “final answer?”
