>> did he say medicaid or medicare? >> medicaid. >> number one is you need to have better control over managed-care portion of medicaid. the estimates on improper payments for medicaid only really are based upon a fee-for-service portion which is less than half of the payments now and we have encouraged much more aggressive fashion, looking at the managed-care portion. they have increased the number of audits and they are starting to find more problems so that is number one. >> ok, so i got to move on. there is just too much here because you also noted that dod has major problems as well -- major problems as well. so i introduced, once again, the audit the pentagon act which aims to increase transparency and accountability in the defense budget and imposing financial consequences because have they ever had a clean bill of health on an audit? >> not for the overall department. there are some components and i am very pleased, last two years, the marine corps has got an unmodified, clean opinion. the other services, not so

and when you talk about the medicaid.important medicaid. is not just for low income. >> families. >> but for a lot of middle class families where working people across this nation. half of the kids, often in a children's hospital, lying and getting in bed, getting treatment there are covered by the medicaid program. many of the people in our country who are in nursing homes are getting care through medicaid. and so it supports not only the millions of people who are covered by the program, but also our state budgets, our hospitals, our health care providers. and cutting these benefits hurts everybody, including our economy. >> can the state. so let's say they actually whack away at benefits and services under medicaid. can the states fill the gap. >> like in theory? >> sure. >> states could. >> come up with the money, but we are talking about billions of dollars. for most states, health care is the number one thing. >> that they spend. >> money on. it can be over 20%. even texas, 29% of the state budget. is dedicated to t

about medicaid.ublican budget authorizes up to $880 billion in cuts to medicaid that will hurt children, hurt families, hurt every day americans with disabilities and herzing years. paul: we are back with dan heninger and kim strassel and alisha finley. the press was basically saying for weeks that this was not going to pass. how did johnson get over the line? >> one reason republicans chose to do it, just to show the press wrong. they had a choice to hold this together or descend into chaos. for once they did the right thing. i give credit to two entities, what is mike johnson and the truth is even a couple weeks ago when this past the house budget committee, that was when he managed to get the major factions to buy into this. what he was dealing with this week were a couple hold outs who saw a chance for a headline, they ended up coming around in the end but this was him holding together a coalition. i give credit to the senate. the house kept insisting the only way forward is one big beautiful bil

now to the task at hand, medicaid fraud. if we implement enhanced identity verification and income verification, how much money will we save? >> you will save hundreds of billions of dollars. identity verification and elimination of self certification and monitoring beneficiaries will prevent these transnational criminal groups from accessing systems so legitimate people who need the benefits will get them in a timely fashion. >> we will get actual benefits to american citizens who are in need faster because if you do it electronically like they did in missouri, where the pilot program saved almost 20% of medicaid dollars. all we have to do is adopt what has already been proven in missouri and we will save 20%. we spent almost $900 billion every year on medicaid. if 20% of that is saved, that is almost $200 billion. we have a 1.8 trillion dollars deficit. we just knocked off $200 billion. let's keep this train going. the fact that the democrats are filing a lawsuit after lawsuit to impede the efforts of president trump to ri

and health advocates, well, they fear drastic cuts to medicaid. we turn now to nbc bay area's ginger conejero saab, who explains what's at stake? congress last week took its first steps in kick starting these talks by passing a new budget framework that calls for about $2 trillion in spending cuts. and while the framework doesn't specifically say where those cuts will be made, some experts believe that the goal cannot be achieved without significant cuts to medicaid because of the program's large costs. now, medicaid offers last ditch coverage for roughly 80 million poor and disabled americans, including millions of children. it's jointly paid for by states and the federal government, but it is one of the largest sources of federal spending, costing about $600 billion per year. one leading advocate fears some proposals are calling to potentially gut medicaid. she believes not only would people die without that coverage, but americans covered through other means would likely foot the costs with higher hospital billing charges when they have lots of

republicans have been denying that medicaid is involved. if you do the math, there's no way to do it without medicaid being front and center. so talk to us about what that would mean for the citizens of your state, republicans and democrats alike. >> well, thanks. >> for having me on. >> these medicaid cuts would. >> be devastating. >> and they'd. >> be devastating to the people we. >> all love. >> the most. >> the people we love the most in this world. >> are our. >> parents and. >> our kids. >> 50% of kentucky's kids get coverage through medicaid. >> 70% of our long term care costs. >> for our seniors. >> go through medicaid. >> so what cuts. would do would be to. >> harm families. >> that. >> have children with complicated. >> medical issues. >> harm the care that our. >> seniors get in. >> those important. >> twilight years. >> and it would. >> devastate rural. >> health care. >> i mean, we. >> thankfully have a strong. >> group of. >> rural hospitals. >> throughout our state. and i can tell you governing. >> during the pandemic, they a

with medicaid.his is particularly of interest to those in california, because california is among the states with the largest number of medicaid enrollees. kira. we're live in san francisco, ginger conejero saab today in the bay. yeah. and we know you or other reporters will continue to follow this story for the residents here. ginger, thanks so much. hayward police are looking for the person or persons responsible for shooting and injuring four people outside of a restaurant. this happened late saturday night in the parking lot outside of grill by miss g. this is on foothill boulevard. now, police say officers arrived there to find three of the four victims still there at the scene. that fourth victim went to the hospital on their own. now, one witness says one witness saw what was happening from nearby. he says that two people ran past the restaurant, and then a string of gunshots. he witnessed two individuals running down foothill going towards the centennial. and the apartments this way. and pre

it's not just medicaid. snap benefits are also now on the chopping block. do republicans not see how unpopular these cuts will be with their voting base, or do they simply not care? >> i think it's the latter. i think that they know the class war is on, and unless they actually meet opposition from the democratic party or from the people in the streets or through the ballot box, they're going to keep doing what they're doing, which is, again, a. pneumonic to sucking the money from the poorest to the richest to people who are straight up right now trying to write off. their private jets. >> that was. >> happened in the first trump tax cuts. if they are made completely permanent. that's what they're going to do. i guess my thing is this eamon, and i think this is what we have to talk about. there's no going back to normal discussions about the deficit. the deficit has always been a false flag red herring distraction. whenever we actually talk about things like universal health care, whenever we actually talk about something like a green new deal that gives pe

oh, maybe we should cut a little bit of medicaid. or maybe we should should have work requirements, even though the majority of people on medicaid already work like it is all the capitulation that has led us down this primrose path to plutocracy. >> yeah. and you're you're absolutely right about the framing of this. the democrats continuously fall into the framing that republicans want to create for them on this issue, and they need to look beyond that. amara, do you think we will actually see a divide within the republican party on this budget? the musks and trumps of the world are obviously not in touch at all with the needs of the working class and working poor, but a lot of house republicans acknowledge that they have a lot of their constituents who depend and who rely on all of these programs to get by, and they have to go back to those districts. >> yeah. i mean, i think that what you're going to see is a tremendous amount of tension. but the question is whether or not that tension is going to manifest in votes. i mean, this is

there is not one mention of medicare, medicaid and social security.t in the bill because we have not set the policy. when we're trying to do is get america back on sound, fiscal ground. we have a $36 trillion federal debt and ballooning deficits. the republican party is a party of fiscal responsibility. the american people want us to review the expenditures of the country and get our fiscal house in order and that's what we must do. at the same time we have to extend the trump era tax cuts so we can make sure that every american doesn't reach the large of the tax increase. this very serious work. we can do both things simultaneously and not affect anyone eligible for those to receive them. you have inefficiencies. in medicaid there's an estimated $50 billion a year that is lost in fraud alone. we've got to clean that up and the people want us to do it. that's what we're talking about. ensuring efficiencies, and ensuring that the programs are strengthened so that they can remain solvent and help the people they're intended to help. >> you say there won

and why do you believe that medicaid would be affected by this? right now is this doesn't mention medicaid. there's no medicaid mention at all in this legislation. >> well, we. >> can see from what donald trump and the republican leadership have done that it absolutely is going to impact medicaid, which, as you said, covers 70 million. 72 million americans. >> that is. >> a lot of people. and the impact is going to be devastating. medicaid is used to cover 40% of births in the united states of america, 50% of nursing homes. and it's also used to cover lots of. >> young people who. >> are just entering the workforce, and more. when we cut medicaid, we're going to see people not being able to go to the doctor. we're going to see people. having issues like. strep throat. >> which, if it's. >> untreated, can turn into something. >> much worse and cost. >> more money in the long run. >> we're going. >> to see rural hospitals closing. >> we're going. to see medical programs closing. it's going to hurt. >> our economy. >> it's going to hurt our businesse

but medicaid also allows.ive care. >> so they don't get. >> sick. >> because. >> when they do, they're coming to the hospital anyway. they're coming to the emergency room when it is, in some cases. >> too late, in some. >> cases way more expensive than. >> if they had. >> gotten preventative care. >> people will. >> die because of these. medicaid cuts. and republicans don't seem to care. they care more. about these tax breaks. for billionaires than for making sure that every american has access to quality health care when they need it. >> every democrat voted against this. this was a vote to just move to the vote for the actual budget. but it included the cuts and every everybody knew what they were voting for. every democrat in the house of representatives voted against it. now there's conversation because, oh, they're like, oh, is the budget going to pass? we don't know. but we still need to fund the government. march 14th is the deadline. now there's conversations from republicans in the senate and then som

one leading advocate fears some proposals are calling to potentially gut medicaid. she believes not only would people die without that coverage, but americans covered through other means would likely foot the costs with higher hospital billing charges. when they have lots of patients that are not paying for their care, what they do is they pass that cost on to the people who can pay for care. so it means that the what we all, every everybody else who's not on medicaid, who does have private health insurance will be paying more as as a part of their premiums, more out of pocket costs for their deductibles and co-pays in order to bolster the health care system. well, some republican lawmakers are justifying potential medicaid cuts by suggesting it's a magnet for fraud. democrats counter that by calling for more oversight. now, meanwhile, other republicans are now listening to their constituents concerns, especially in rural areas where experts say the lack of medicaid would likely hit home the hardest. now, last week, president trump said that lawmakers would not touc

of our concerns and making sure that we received assurances particularly related to savings and medicaidot affecting our seniors and disabled and children with disabilities and hospitals and lowering floor on the map which for example new york state gets reimbursed 50% currentsly and so these were all real concerns that we've had and they worked through it and we were able to come up with a product that is a frame work, of course. there's no specific details in there, but it is a frame work and a blueprint that allows us to move this process forward to implement president trump's agenda that includes not only a savings that will put our country back on a responsible, fiscal track and start paying down that $37 trillion in debt. that implements some of the tax cuts and savings going to the middle class families we represent. they'll be priors in mind and taxes on tipped workers and taxes on senior citizens and repatriates manufacturing here in the united states and particularly for supply chains like pharmaceuticals. helping middle class families stay in their homes. trey: what do you thi

and i think sometimes people don't know that they get their health insurance through medicaid. here in minnesota, we call it medical assistance in wisconsin. next door to us, they call it badger care. so this is a essential health care throughout the life span. and even if you don't get your health insurance through medicaid, you will be impacted by this, because these cuts will mean hospitals are going to close, clinics are going to close, long term care facilities are going to close. and so the places that you get your health care will also be impacted. this is going to impact all of us. ali, i've been trying to make the case that this is a national security issue. >> you know, you say something interesting here where you say not everybody knows they get their their their, you know, health care through medicaid. and that's actually not a bad thing, right? when government works properly, you don't actually need to know. you just need to know you're just getting your health care. but in minnesota, where you're talking about medical assistance, 1.3 million minnesotans are on thi

, there is a substantial amount of fraud, here the same level of fraud in medicaid, that you have withyou would save hurpz of billions if democrats want to be party insists on paying crooks insists on supporting waste that is her prerogative american people do not want to be told government so is wonderful cannot be retermed not be touched i think democrats are walking into a blind canyon, where they are going to end up look being like they don't understand the average american at all. maria: yeah, all right. i think so too i think the resistance is going to be a a lot harder this time around, because people are on to it they ins what president trump and this administration is trying to do. but wow. what a blowout friday newt did you watch it live? zelenskyy claims now he is -- [laughter] zelenskyy claims ready to sign a rare earth minerals deal now after that explosive oval office meeting with president, trump says zelenskyy will be welcome back being to white house when and if ready for peace secretary scott bessent treasury secretary said is a of no deal no longer on table in if i'm

. >> medicaid has to be on. >> the chopping. >> block, but put. >> medicaid on the. >> chopping block. >> in front of all of america. it is. going to be very painful for them. >> now, extending trump's 2017 tax cuts would cost $4.6 trillion over a decade, according to the congressional budget office. and senate, if senate republicans use the current accounting process, they have no chance of making the cuts permanent because they require paying for it. so instead of or instead they want to use a different scoring method that assumes the extension will cost nothing because there's already law. some have called it a sign republicans don't expect to pay for the cost of their tax agenda. what is your take on this? >> well, first of all, they're counting the money twice. they counted it first when they put through the first trump tax cuts for billionaires. by counting the tax cuts for billionaires as ending in ten years so they could shrink how much trump was giving. >> away to billionaires in. >> that first one. >> and now they're. pretending that that money was never going to go away. >>

i mean, truly medicaid, food stamps. there was a time when, because of the class composition of the two party coalitions, republicans could try to sell some story that, like snap, is for other people, medicaid is for other people. no, these are trump voters. >> and so what's happening is, as these republicans in congress are meeting up with resistance to this in town halls, the message is getting out there. don't do town halls. the hope here is that this budget passes and it's now in the past, it's we've gotten past that and we're into other things. it's literally the most important thing. the only thing in the constitution that congress has to do is now being done. you know, amidst the distraction of a whole lot of other distracting and bad things that are going on in government. but this one is serious and dangerous. >> yes. and i do think i will say this about the democratic political opposition. i mean, they this is the one thing they want to talk about. everyone understands. i've looked at polling, i've looked at in
