Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA ) received a mocking backlash from the Office of Management and Budget director, Russell and Vought, who was also in favor of the proposed changes to Medicaid in the reconciliation bill before Congress.
In a town hall this year, Ernst addressed questions about what Democrats have characterized as cuts to Medicaid andnbsp in policy that the House has passed and called” the great, beautiful expenses.” She was responding to questions about how she will voting on the expenses because it is currently before the Senate. A group of audience members yelled at the senator,” People are going to die,” and Ernst responded,” Well, we all are going to die,” causing shouts in the air and garnering nationwide attention ever since.
The social safety net may be preserved and protected by this act, but it will also make it much more logical. Appear, one out of every five or six cents in Medicaid is illegal. Illegal immigrants are included in the system. We have able-bodied, working people who don’t meet the TANF or SNAP requirements for employment, Vought said. And those are something that is extremely crucial to the institution. That’s what this legislation does. No one will suffer the consequences of this bill.
Ernst cited the 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are receiving Medicaid gains but who Ernst said “would be coming of” as a result of the costs.
DR. OZ ASKS WHY STATES ARE” PAYING FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GETTING HEALTHCARE.”
At the town hall, Ernst said,” What you don’t want to do is, listen to me when I say that we are going to focus on those who are most vulnerable.” We may protect those who meet the criteria for Medicaid registration. We’ll keep them safe.
As demonstrators have significantly re-entered the meetings to shout down lawmakers, some Republican , town , and halls  have veered off. In response, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC ) advised members to stop holding in-person meetings and meetings and stop encouraging such actors. As she prepares to run for reelection in 2026, Ernst defended her Parkersburg function, saying,” I always enjoy hearing from components and sharing my job to reduce government red tape for you.”
