The GOP's "Big, Beautiful Bill" actually enshrines the ObamaCare Medi-SCAM that will bankrupt our nation.obama_donkeyhotey.png

I bet you're not hearing that much in the news, but it's true.

In simple terms, the current bill IS A VOTE FOR EXTENDING OBAMACARE ANOTHER TEN YEARS!

A central aspect of ObamaCare was a massive expansion of Medicaid to effectively provide subsidized or free healthcare for millions more people beyond the traditional safety net. Even worse, the ObamaCare Medi-SCAM actually created perverse incentives that favored abled-bodied, non-working people over the truly needy -- children, pregnant women, seniors and the disabled.

The current system is so perverse, the federal government provides 700% MORE MEDICAID FUNDING for able-bodied people than for the truly needy.

This perversion continues in the current reconciliation plan.

And the work "requirement" they are allegedly adding?

It's another trick...

There is NO REAL WORK REQUIREMENT, despite all the posturing. As Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Andy Harris said, the work requirement "doesn’t start for four years (into the next administration) and CAN BE WAIVED by any state for 'hardship' that they determine (and they will)." In other words, THERE IS NO WORK REQUIREMENT!

To make matters even worse, what GOP leaders are currently supporting provides more Medicaid funding FOR ILLEGALS than for truly needy -- children, moms, the elderly and disabled.

Rep. Harris summed up the situation by saying...

"What a joke. The swamp is real."

+ + Two Actions Today...

Key committees are debating and amending the bill today. It now appears this is all building to a Rules Committee vote on Monday that will decide this bill's fate before it can go or a full House floor vote before Memorial Day.

That means we have just a few days to let our voices be heard!

Here are two ways to take action today:

First, sign our REAL SPENDING CUTS petition today.

We need to add at least 10,000 signers for an important delivery to House leaders who are standing on the wall to save our country from fiscal ruin. Will you take 30 seconds to sign the REAL SPENDING CUTS PETITION? Go here:

Second, call Congressional leaders today and say, "I DEMAND REAL CUTS -- I OPPOSE THIS SPENDING SCAM THAT ADDS $20 TRILLION TO THE DEBT!"

  • Call the Switchboard: 202-224-3121
  • Call Speaker Johnson's office: 202-225-2777
