The Big Beautiful Bill, as amended and if passed into law, would drop illegal immigrants from Medicaid services. The proposal was highlighted by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) on Tuesday after the bill passed in the Senate.
In a post on X, Schmitt wrote, “The Big Beautiful Bill kicks 1.4 MILLION illegal immigrants off Medicaid. For too long, Americans have been paying for the welfare of people who shouldn’t even be in our country. Today, the Senate voted to end that. And yes—this DID make it into the final draft of the bill.”
He went on to say that there were a lot of “rumors” that the portion of the bill had been stripped from the bill along with other Medicaid reforms, however, that was not correct. In the text of the bill, on section 71109, the bill states, “In no event shall payment be made to a State under this section for medical assistance furnished to an individual unless such individual is” a resident of the United States and is a citizen of an “alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence” as well as for other legally admitted immigrants. more here
This should calm everyone down on X. Can’t believe the hysteria going on there about this confusion!
Shitmur, Newscum et al were screaming from the rooftops about how this was going to ruin the healthcare system, sate budget and the many millions without insurance.
Simple solution SELF DEPORT!!!!!
So much winning! And USAID is now getting shut down. It took last week’s SCOTUS decision preventing activist judges from stopping it.

I commend Rand Paul for speaking out on the bill, it certainly contains a lot of pork – but after speaking out I think he should have voted in favor anyway. With tight voting margins in both chambers, this session of Congress has to do whatever it can and accept less than perfect. Next session (2027-28) maybe we will have a stronger majority and can get tougher bills passed.
Let’s go one step further: Kill. Medicaid. Rntirely.
Damn carpal tunnel!
Kick the goddamn 33 year old drug addicts off Social Security and any and all public assistance whatsoever irrespective of their immigration status as well. I know two families whose drug addicts offspring are impossible to help because as soon as they get that govt cheese they run straight back to their first love. Their drugs. Both families have repeatedly spent a fortune on rehab and were finding success until along came that govt money. Both have given up. They can’t compete with the government when the government is working in direct opposition to them.
EL TRUMPO IS NUKING THEM AND MAKING THEM GLOW FOREVER!!
THANK GOD FOR OUR GREAT PRESIDENT AND THE TIRELESS LEADERSHIP!!
WTF? We need to pass a bill? This isn’t winning we have already lost.
