Hello John,

‌

Did you know that in 2024, 2.8 million individuals were enrolled in government
health care programs illegally?

‌

That’s not a typo.

‌

Just the other day, federal officials revealed that 1.2 million individuals
are enrolled in Medicaid plans in two or more states at the same time, while
another1.6 million are enrolled in both a Medicaid plan and an Obamacare plan.

‌

What does this illegal duplication cost taxpayers like you?

‌

$14 billion a year.

‌

This shameful waste is the result of the Biden administration’s policy of
enrolling as many people as possible in government health care programs — even
if they don’t qualify.

‌

Who benefits most from this fraud?

‌

One — health insurance companies that get higher government subsidies but
receive no financial penalty for improper enrollments. Two — unscrupulous
brokers that cheat to generate higher commissions.

‌

Here’s the bottom line: The One Big Beautiful Bill, recently passed by
Congress, combats this waste and fraud by implementing modern reforms for
detecting duplicate enrollments, removing deceased individuals from the rolls,
verifying eligibility more frequently, and enhancing states’ tools to eliminate
misuse.

‌

Importantly, this new law does not cut Medicaid funding. Instead, it restores
Medicaid’s original purpose as a safety net for truly vulnerable populations —
pregnant women, children, the elderly, and the disabled.

‌

How Medicaid drifted off course



Medicaid’s original mission was to provide targeted assistance to help those
most in need. But decades of political overreach have expanded the program far
beyond its purpose, enrolling millions of individuals who do not qualify and
putting an unsustainable burden on taxpayers.

‌

Without meaningful reform, Medicaid was increasingly at risk of failing the
very people it was created to protect. The One Big Beautiful Bill marks an
essential step toward correcting course, ensuring resources are directed where
they are truly needed and eliminating systemic inefficiencies.

‌

Key features of the One Big Beautiful Bill

* Prevents duplicate enrollment: Establishes robust new tools to identify and
eliminate duplicate enrollments across states and programs.
* Deceased enrollee management: Ensures state Medicaid rolls are updated
regularly to remove deceased individuals.
* Frequent eligibility verification: Requires periodic checks to verify
recipients continue to meet eligibility standards.
* Enhanced state resources: Provides states with the tools and resources
necessary to combat waste, fraud, and abuse.
Why these reforms matter

* Safeguards for the vulnerable: By addressing duplicative and ineligible
enrollments, Medicaid dollars can now go to the low-income families, the
elderly, people with disabilities, and expectant mothers who genuinely rely on
the program.
* Taxpayer protection: Taxpayer dollars should be spent efficiently and
effectively. These reforms save $14 billion annually by stopping unlawful and
duplicative payments.
* Program sustainability: Streamlined and refocused, Medicaid can now ensure
long-term viability without requiring disruptive program cuts.
These changes have been the subject of a lot of misinformation, and many
members of Congress who voted “Yes” are the subjects of unrelenting political
attacks. These members need our support!

‌

So please take a moment to send a thank-you letter to your members of Congress!
