Sen. Warren did not mince her words as she pointed out that the Republican Party line is to lie about the Medicaid cuts, hospital & nursing home closures from the Big Beautiful Bill.
Elizabeth Warren: The Republican Party line is to lie.
Elizabeth Warren’s Senate floor broadside slices through weeks of Republican spin. She states plainly that the “party line is to lie” about Medicaid cuts embedded in the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), a reconciliation package House Republicans muscled through in May. Her charge is not a rhetorical flourish; it is a verifiable description of a communications plan that begins with former president Donald Trump repeating “waste, fraud, and abuse” and ends with Speaker Mike Johnson claiming the word “Medicaid” appears nowhere in the legislation. PolitiFact traced each assertion and concluded the claims are “False,” noting that work-requirement language and per-capita caps eliminate real coverage, not just inefficiencies.
