I just can’t get over how much they feel compelled to lie about what they’re up to.

“Sending Medicaid,” as if people are getting a paper bag full of cash instead of health insurance.
BARRASSO: We have over 5 million people sitting at home who are able to work who are on Medicaid and choose not to work. WELKER: 92 percent of people who are on Medicaid are either working or would qualify for an exemption

again, the reality is that the only way the law can achieve its intended Medicaid savings is if millions of "legal, eligible, and vulnerable" enrollees are pushed out of the program.
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, we are putting Medicaid on a more sustainable fiscal trajectory and ensuring the program refocuses, as intended, towards serving the most vulnerable Americans. Recent polling shows that two-thirds of voters (66%) agree there is waste, fraud, and.

All of the healthcare savings in this law hinge on literally millions of people losing their insurance.
Hassett is just gonna lie right through it: "I think that nobody is gonna lose their insurance."

I'm increasingly fascinated by Republican messaging on this bill. Strategy seems to be: DO NOT, under any circumstances, talk about where the bulk of the money is going . I guess they've seen how it polls, too.

A lifeline to survive. because you voted to cut Medicaid! Be serious.
We have set up a $50 billion rural health fund within this reconciliation bill — we are giving rural hospitals a lifeline to survive.

No tax on tips is temporary and is capped, and corporate tax cuts are permanent and have none . economic populism at its finest!.
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam . the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US . while kicking

Again, so weird that they aren't talking about the 4T in tax cuts for the rich!.
Massive tax cuts, especially no tax on tips and overtime. And most importantly, big money for border security. This is a big win for the American people.

There is just endless evidence at this point that every time a Republican goes on TV and says this bill won't kick people off of their healthcare, they are in fact just straight up lying.
It does seem worth asking why Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) will support health care provisions for the rest of the country that she thinks her state should be exempted from.

and nevermind that the provisions he does mention all expire but corporate tax cuts are made permanent.

Funny how all the tax cuts for the rich (ie most of the bill) never make it into the talking points.
Today’s Senate vote is a major step forward in enacting @POTUS’s agenda to revitalize the American economy and provide certainty to households and businesses alike. @SenateGOP has taken decisive action to prevent a $4 trillion tax hike on hardworking Americans, while securing.
