Democrats are brazenly promising to throw the door wide open to fraud if they win back control of Congress this November – yet the media has virtually ignored it.
Earlier this month, House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries unveiled a “first 100 days” agenda that his party plans to implement come January to deliver on “affordability.” A central part of that agenda is reversing what Democrats call the Trump administration’s “Medicaid cuts” passed as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) last year.
The New York Times has uncritically parroted this framing, describing the plan as a “shock-and-awe legislative sprint to demonstrate within hours of taking power that they are passing bills to deliver on their promises, including restoring health care subsidies and Medicaid resources.” The Associated Press likewise called the 100-day plan a “hyper-focused agenda” that includes “reversing Republican Medicaid cuts.”
But there’s just one problem – Trump didn’t actually “cut” Medicaid. Rather, the administration stopped money from flowing to people who should have never received it in the first place. Democrat promises to restore Medicaid funding to people who have lost it are explicit promises to re-enable the fraud that Trump has cracked down on.
