Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Why do we say the Republican Party is the only one advancing common sense reform solutions? Because we've proven it. We did it in the big beautiful bill. We took a look at Medicaid & we took on that challenge. We took action to reduce fraud, waste & abuse in Medicaid"

They make all these claims about fraud and abuse while the most rich and powerful people doing tangible harm to people with their own fraud and abuse. Then they can't even be bothered to try and prove the claims they make

The claims of fraud, waste, and abuse, are all hyperbole. Any examples of the sort are such a tiny percentage of the whole that they’re irrelevant to the larger program. But Republicans don’t like spending taxpayer funding to do anything helpful…that’s “waste” to them. Rs hate Americans.

I'm sorry but I only have the very real desire to dot his eye when he says this kind of utter bullshit. If there was reporter close when he spewed that lie should have followed up with, "How do you square your faith with the fact you're an habitual liar? We are able to fact check every word."

Of course! I mean why shouldn't federal policies impacting who lives and dies be decided via "common sense?" Clearly the lives and livelihoods of 340 million people, intertwined in a complex social & economic web far too complex for any single person to comprehend, should be run purely on intuition.

I am sure billionaires and their lackeys find it big n beautiful. I am sure if you took a billionaire, kicked the mentioned person in the ass, the rectum would shower 100 dollar bills like from fireworks.

Cutting programs that help people shouldn’t be confused with fighting fraud and abuse. This logic only seems reasonable to the entitled who are willing to ignore the vast majority who are harmed.

you're a despicable liar Mike Johnson shameful name. You took him a child's Medicaid no you ripped it away from people making their insurance twice three four times higher how is that helping people you don't give a s***

They found an elegant solution to reducing poverty in America: starve all of the poor people. Now if those people were still embryos in their mother's womb, then they would have some moral tension with this solution, but since they're not. No problem.

If they truly went after Medicaid fraud, more CEOs (and Senators) would be facing jail time, because fraud mostly happens at the admin level: "some of the claims against Scott’s old hospital company revolved around exploiting Medicaid, and billing for services that patients didn’t need. "

Wow a month piece for trump maga movement.Do not say the Republican Party which you are not.trump did a hostile takeover of the Republican Party it has died. This is a maga movement followers of trump who believe that he is a king and bow to him.I do hope that the real Republicans can comeback!

Just cutting money from a program isn't addressing fraud. It's only cutting the amount of fraud as a result of there being overall less money. The percentage remains the same. They haven't done or proposed anything more than just cutting program's without regard to the consequences.

I don’t think gutting Medicaid is a common sense reform - on what planet are any of these knuckleheads making things better for Americans?

Can we take that mythical $185 billion and have snap back? They say they’ve saved Medicaid but where is the proof? Able bodied people don’t use the service therefore there was nothing to save 🤡

Since when, are the people receiving Medicaid Benefits, referred to as Waste, Fraud, and Abuse? Republican solution is to kick poor people off. Problem solved, huh? Right now, Congress is the definition of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

I don't even think he's technically lying here. Many GOP believe that Medicaid itself is a "waste" and thus, cutting funding is "reducing waste" and if there isn't funding, there's no money with which to abuse or defraud. They don't even consider the people affected worth thinking about. :(

Let me correct that statement for you!! We’ve eliminated anyone that we can legally from Medicaid to reduce the cost so the 1% get their money and Congress keeps its gold standard healthcare while the general population gets fucked! Always been the republicans agenda!

How many reporters asked him why people are getting notices that their ACA insurance premiums are going to double, triple and sometimes quadruple? Is it now GOP common sense that health care should be unaffordable for millions, because fuck those non-rich people?

There was never a plan, there will never be a plan. MAGA wants to remove Healthcare from the Gov't entirely. They want to privatize, and the left wants Gov't run Single Payer for all. The MAGA way ensures millions will lose Healthcare for good. The Left plan ensures Healthcare for all. Equally.

"We make children go hungry, triple the cost of people's healthcare, and send masked Gestapo to hunt down brown people -- because that's what Jesus would want!!" - Moses Mike Johnson, Christian extraordinaire

Why is that displayed on the screen as a Fact when clearly it's an opinion/argument they're attempting to prove? Next should be listed the actual facts supporting that argument.

"Fact" 1: We did it in the big beautiful bill. That isn't a fact. They did what exactly? "Fact" 2: We took a look at... Where is your data? How does that support the claim that Democrats are not trying to save Healthcare?

And dear leader continues to shit in your mouths and loves watching you squirm every day in front of the American people. You’re a pawn Moses. He doesn’t care about you or anyone on that Nazi stage. Just continue to do his bidding cuz he’s got you signed sealed and delivered. Pathetic display

You’ve got that lying snake saying we don’t want to leak our plan likes it’s a threat to national security and you have a seated republican congressman yesterday saying what we need to do is come up with a plan. THEY DON’T HAVE A PLAN!
