When Reality Bites: Sen. Jon Ossoff and Rep. Jamie Raskin
Sen. Jon Ossoff and Rep. Jamie Raskin have been called out for spreading misinformation regarding Medicaid and tax cuts. Ossoff claimed that Medicaid has been gutted due to tax cuts for the wealthy, but research from Just Facts contradicts this assertion. The findings indicate that the Medicaid program is being reformed to eliminate waste and fraud, rather than being cut.
- ▪Sen. Jon Ossoff claimed that Medicaid has been cut to accommodate tax cuts for top earners.
- ▪Just Facts found that the BBB only cuts Medicaid for certain non-pregnant, non-disabled adults and prevents illegal immigrants from receiving benefits.
- ▪The portion of the U.S. population receiving Medicaid has increased from 12% in 2000 to 26% in 2024, while the poverty rate has remained the same.
