Does the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Really Make Cuts to Medicaid?

Posted on July 3, 2025

As you watch and wait for the idiot to stop his filibustering, you might actually sit down and read the Big Beautiful Bill— the one they’re calling “cuts to Medicaid”— and you’ll realize every Democrat, every mainstream media hack- as well as Hakeem Jeffries- is lying straight through their teeth.

No normal American would be against any of this. Let’s break it down:

𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏:

Saves $35 billion over 10 years by limiting federal health program eligibility based on citizenship status.

Translation?

If you’re here illegally, you don’t get Medicaid. Simple.

And funny enough, they keep telling us that’s not happening anyway—so you should agree with this one by default.

𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐:

Saves $42 billion by cutting “Medicare coverage of bad debt.”

Not sure what that is?

Say you’ve got private health insurance. They pay their part, and then you’re left with your portion. If you don’t pay it, that’s bad debt.

Now, private insurance won’t cover that, obviously.

But if you’re on Medicaid? The government—meaning you, the taxpayer—covers up to 65% of that unpaid balance.

Hospitals exploit this by jacking up prices for Medicaid patients, knowing the gov will foot the bill.

This cut says: “Yeah, we’re not doing that anymore.”

Hospitals lose the incentive to inflate prices, taxpayers stop getting robbed.

Who in their right mind is against that?

𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟑:

“Site neutrality,” saving $148 billion.

This one’s easy—hospitals can’t charge people on Medicare or Medicaid more than they charge cash or private insurance customers for the same service.

It levels the playing field. Fair pricing.

Who’s mad about that… nobody.

So just from those three items, we’re already saving over $200 billion.

But if I had just come out and said, “Hey, they’re cutting $200 billion from Medicaid,” y’all would’ve lost your minds.

That’s the problem.

People freak out before they even know what’s actually in the bill.

They make TikTok clips, cry on Twitter, act like it’s the apocalypse—without doing a single minute of homework.

But when you actually look at the details it turns out you probably 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 with every single cut just mentioned.

And that’s just 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳 of the total plan.

You should fully support this.
