I’ve seen conflicting info that it was either cut completely or that it was reduced.

It removes illegal aliens from receiving benefits, and enforces work requirements - which means many people who are currently receiving Medicaid benefits will no longer receive them. Your political viewpoint will dictate whether you view that as a cut or not.

there’s lots of people on Medicaid with disabilities barring them from actually functioning as a working adult.

Right... thats why it exempts those people
u/cope413 · 2025-06-30 15:52:04 UTC · score 4
And those would be exempted...
"The House bill specifies mandatory exemptions including all parents and caretakers (the proposed Senate language limits the parent/caretaker exemption to parents with children ages 14 and under), individuals who are “medically frail,” and individuals who are pregnant or postpartum, among others (Figure 2). The “medically frail” designation includes individuals who are blind or disabled, individuals with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities, individuals with substance use disorder or a “disabling” mental disorder, and those with “serious or complex” medical conditions. States may allow short-term hardship exceptions from work requirements, if requested by enrollees (or applicants) experiencing certain extenuating circumstances (Figure 2)."
It's almost as if people haven't read the bill and instead are just using the media talking points to support their political party talking points.

It’s almost as if the shot isn’t hard enough to get now that it’s almost a full time job managing the pittance of benefits that they get.

You need a social security number for those benefits. Illegals don't have social security numbers, unless they're not actually illegal...

After working my high school years in a restaurant with many illegals. They definitely get SSNs. Whether they are actually theirs or not is debatable.

Wouldn't you not be illegal if you have a valid SSN?
u/ChevTecGroup · 2025-06-30 16:38:48 UTC · score 3
They often used stolen SSNs to receive benefits. Including free housing and medical care. I found out because they were using them for employment.
They will also go to emergency rooms and rack up large bills that eventually get paid by the govt or absorbed by insurance holders. Costing everyone else for their being illegally in the country (aka committing a crime).

Oh wow, building a system in place to keep close control over ssns would be nice then. Fraudulent use of SSNs and health care fraud are definitely the main crimes here, as being undocumented only carries a civil infraction, a similar crime class to exceeding the speed limit or jaywalking

The CBO reported that illegal immigrants have cost over $16.2 Billion in Medicaid spending.
So take it up with the Congressional Budget Office and the House Budget Committee.

Emergency care and hospital reimbursements would be my guess, or state funds (instead of federal) in states that allow it. AFAIK there is no way for them to get enrolled with a Medicaid plan, but that doesn't mean that there can't be expenses. I think the undocumented emergency/lifesaving procedures account got .2% of the expenditures in Medicaid itself

I was only speaking about the land sales
