Karoline Leavitt: The Big, Beautiful Bill ‘Protects Medicaid’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “Well, he is just wrong. And the president and the vast majority of Republicans who are supportive of this legislation are right. This bill protects Medicaid, as I laid out for you, for those who truly deserve this program, the needy, pregnant women, children, sick Americans who physically cannot work. And what it does is it ensures that able-bodied Americans who can work 20 hours a week are actually doing so. And that will, therefore, strengthen and protect those benefits for Americans who need it, as well as cutting out the waste, fraud and abuse, as well as getting 1.4 million illegal aliens off of the program. So, all of those measures are actually going to protect it for those who need it. That’s the president’s position. And that’s what this bill does. And that’s why Republicans need to vote for it and get it to the president’s desk.”
