Rolling Stone: Republicans Are Lying About Cuts to Medicaid
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are resorting to bald-faced lies to hide their devastating health care betrayal as independent fact-checkers expose the truth about their billionaire tax giveaway that will strip health coverage from 14 million Americans.
Trump’s backers like CMS Administrator Dr. Oz, OMB Director Russ Vought, and House Speaker Mike Johnson are brazenly lying on national television, claiming “we’re not cutting Medicaid” while implementing the most devastating cuts to Medicaid in American history. Meanwhile, Trump lackeys like Karoline Leavitt falsely claim their bill “saves nearly $2 trillion” while the CBO estimated an increase in the deficit of $3.8 trillion, proving Republicans will resort to any lie to hide that they’re gutting health care for working families to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires while exploding the national debt.
