Jeffries claims Republicans “cut $1 trillion from Medicaid” and refused to extend ACA tax credits. Neither claim holds up. The Medicaid reforms targeted waste: work requirements for able-bodied adults and tighter eligibility so the program isn’t used by illegal immigrants or people who don’t qualify. Undocumented immigrants were already barred from full benefits. The bill closed loopholes and prioritizes American citizens who actually need it. Medicaid spending still grows. On the ACA tax credits: the enhanced subsidies Jeffries wants mostly expanded help to higher-income households above 400% of poverty — people the original law never intended to subsidize. Extending them keeps pouring taxpayer money into coverage for those who can afford it while doing little for the poorest. Democrats call this “affordable healthcare for every American.” It’s not. I have a better plan for affordable healthcare: lower taxes and let Americans decide how to cover themselves.
