“In the House bill, “we’re not changing Medicaid,” only cutting “waste, fraud and abuse.”
What PolitiFact found
The legislation includes some provisions that can improve the detection of beneficiaries who aren’t eligible for Medicaid coverage. However, the bill also cuts reimbursements for states that cover people in the U.S. illegally, mandates that recipients work 80 hours a month, and bans payments to nonprofits that provide abortions. These changes align with Republicans’ ideological views.
