Republican "Big, Beautiful Bill" passes House, projected to leave 8 million without Medicaid coverage.

Republican leaders claim their "Big, Beautiful Bill" targets waste and fraud in Medicaid, but the Congressional Budget Office projects it could leave over 8 million people without coverage. The bill, which passed the House, also faces concerns about work requirements and cuts to federal funding, potentially affecting millions more. Republican speakers argue that it protects the program, ensuring benefits go to those who need them most, while critics say it goes beyond just addressing fraud and could reduce coverage significantly. The bill is now heading to the Senate for further debate.
