Yesterday, there were a lot of rumors floating around about the ban on Medicaid for illegal aliens being stripped from the bill.
Thankfully, that's not true. It's very much in the bill we just passed.
You can look it up below. Page 602. Section 77109.https://t.co/9B54AyrRBo

But that was just one of many "messaging amendments," designed to force Democrats to vote against specific provisions—in this case, a ban on some Medicaid funding for illegal aliens who commit heinous crimes—on the record.
It was meant to show the public how radical they are.

The bill we passed actually goes much further—beyond banning Medicaid for 1.4 million illegal aliens, it:
• Requires states to verify citizenship status before providing coverage
• Bans automatic Medicaid enrollment for children of illegal aliens
• Excludes DACA from Medicaid— Senator Eric Schmitt (@SenEricSchmitt) July 1, 2025
