Democrats said House Republicans voted for Medicaid on Tuesday night.

Democrats joined social media after House GOP leadership passed a budget resolution on Tuesday evening. Blast a Unified message The passage of the Republican budget blueprint took a destructive ball into a popular qualification program that registers more than 70 million Americans. Republican lawmakers are fierce I was pushed back against the claim. The Daily Caller News Foundation has asked the man behind the ubiquitous offensive line (House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries) to provide evidence to support what he is saying.

Snapped between the “Save Medicaid” sign at a weekly press conference on Thursday morning, Jeffries appeared to want to leave his Republican colleagues on a mission that was supposed to vote for the program.

“Republicans are lying to the American people about Medicaid,” Jeffries told DCNF’s Andi Napier on Thursday. “The Republican budget allows up to $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid by directing the Energy and Commerce Committee to find those spending cuts.”

“Everyone knows who was involved in Congressional budgets. You can find up to $880 billion in spending cuts that mean Medicaid that hurts children, hurts families, hurts everyday Americans with disabilities, and hurts seniors. “We can’t say otherwise.”

But Jeffries and House Democrats claim that Medicaid is cutting Medicaid, according to sources familiar with the issue. This is because the resolution provides deficits and expenditure instructions for each committee and does not provide specific policy cuts.

Passing the House budget resolution is just the first step in a complex budget resolution process. The blueprint passed Tuesday simply directs the committee to devise certain levels of spending or savings that will be incorporated into the upcoming bill. This resolution does not instruct the committee to make certain policy changes, such as reducing Medicaid benefits.

The GOP budget blueprint provides directions to the House Energy and Commerce (E&C) committee, a panel with Medicaid jurisdiction, identifying at least $880 billion in cuts over a decade, but the resolution does not direct the committee where to look for savings. The House E&C Committee is tasked with making sudden cuts that will help offset the $4.5 trillion deficit increase approved by the budget resolution.

“I have not lost the fake caricatures and distorted criticism that are lobbed in this budget resolution,” House Rules Committee Chairman Virginia Fox said Monday before the House Rules Committee adopted the resolution. “It doesn’t include programmatic assumptions or reductions, despite the high possibility that my Democrat colleagues would argue.”

“Let’s repeat that. It doesn’t include any program assumptions or cuts,” FOXX added.

“The term “Medicaid” is not even found in this bill. ”

The fact that the budget resolution does not even mention the term “Medicaid” does not stop Democrats from passing the budget resolution over Republicans from allegedly robbing their members of Medicaid’s interests.

“99% of House Republicans have just voted for Medicaid and can cut the richest 1% tax,” said Washington Democrat Pramila Jayapal I wrote it X In a post that earned 500,000 views on Tuesday night. “They show exactly who they work for.”

Congressional Democrats, surface Record low approval ratings from voters appear to view the Medicaid offensive line as a victory issue. Regardless of the truth about Democrats’ Medicaid claims, Democrat strategists are precisely seeking the greatest political pain of vulnerable House Republicans to vote “yes” in budget resolutions.

“Donald Trump and House Republicans have pledged to “love and cherish” Medicaid, while House Republicans have gone to full Matt Bevin. I wrote it A February 18 memo on the former Kentucky governor who lost re-election after pursuing Medicaid reform. “In the Congressional districts of battlefield Congress around the country, House Republicans have Medicaid on the chopping block, a move that tears life-saving healthcare from tens of thousands of their own components. About half of that are children.”

Jeffries Allind Super PAC notably wrote a memo before House Republicans chose to pursue policy changes through the budget adjustment process before passing the budget resolution.

“Prove me wrong,” Jeffries told reporters at a press conference Thursday. “There’s nothing more than as House Democrats want Republicans to do better than prove us wrong, and they don’t plan on cutting Medicaid.”

HMP appears to be making progress in placing Medicaid as a “decisive issue” for mid-2026. Claim The non-program reduction has already occurred.
