Why we checked itClaims the Medicaid cuts in the 'one big beautiful bill' were specifically targeted at undocumented immigrants — verifiable against the actual legislative text and CBO analysis
What we foundThe Medicaid compensation cuts in the 2025 reconciliation law were not targeted at people in the country illegally receiving Medicaid, because undocumented immigrants were already ineligible for federally funded Medicaid under longstanding law; the actual cuts reduced federal Medicaid expansion funding for U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants.
