FACT FOCUS: RFK Jr. Misleads on Medicaid Cuts
Analysts say the 47% growth figure still follows legislation expected to trim Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion over a decade.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that there were no Medicaid cuts in the 2025 tax and spending bill and that spending is projected to grow significantly over 10 years.
- Medicaid analysts and experts argue that the law enacts reforms expected to cut spending by nearly $1 trillion over a decade, making Kennedy's claim misleading.
- Experts explain that spending growth would have been higher without the law, so the federal government spends nearly a trillion dollars less than it otherwise would have.
- Republicans defend the Medicaid reforms as necessary to reduce fraud and waste, while critics warn these changes may increase uninsured rates and reduce access to care.
