The recent Republican spending bill is projected to result in over 11 million people losing healthcare and significantly cuts food assistance. It extends the 2017 tax cuts and increases funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement while adding an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Rep. Troy Nehls dismissed concerns regarding the Congressional Budget Office's estimates, asserting that the consequences would mainly affect undocumented immigrants. Nehls expressed confidence in the bill's approval, considering it a success for America without concern for those losing coverage.
I don't have any faith and confidence in the CBO, Nehls said, who was smoking a cigar and had both hands wrapped in bandages. They're scoring, they're wrong half the damn time.
So, you're not worried at all that Americans may lose their healthcare because of this? No, he answered. Just some Americans that aren't Americans, and that is the illegals.
Why should illegals be on Medicare [sic]? Shouldn't have it. We did a great job with it all. We did a great job.
The American people spoke, and the elected representatives spoke today. And what did we do? We supported and passed this one big, beautiful bill.
