Later the same day at 19:13 UTC, Kennedy discussed concerns over Medicaid policy changes in pending legislation. He stated, “Some people enjoy scaring Americans to score political points.
But in reality, the One Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t cut Medicaid for people who need it—it makes sure that people who are NOT eligible for benefits do not collect them.
