It's because Obamacare is not working. We're trying to fix it. We've just shown in the one big beautiful bill, the working families tax cut. Those reforms we made to Medicaid are not cuts to Medicaid. Medicaid will continue to grow. It's just growing at a slower pace. Why? Because we got illegal aliens and able bodied young men without dependents off of Medicaid. They were never planned to be there in the first place. (04:53–05:00)
