Fact Checks (2)

"Medicaid actually goes up under the new Senate bill"

Mostly False

CBO analysis showed the BCRA would cut $772 billion from Medicaid over 10 years vs. current law. While nominal spending might tick up slightly, real per-capita spending and enrollment would drop dramatically. 15 million fewer people covered by 2026.

"Democrats purposely misstated Medicaid under new Senate bill"

Mostly False

Democratic characterization of the bill as cutting Medicaid was consistent with CBO analysis. Trump's framing was the misleading one.
