@MarshaBlackburn Oh, of course-because nothing screams “fiscal responsibility” like cutting out the middleman and just handing patients a check, Brilliant idea: here’s $50, go cure cancer. The real problem isn’t skyrocketing hospital, pharma costs or insurance company profits it’s illegal aliens.
@SpeakerJohnson In response the government is moving to:
* Limit the number of firearms a person can own.
* Restricting the types of guns legally available.
* Considering whether gun ownership should require citizenship.
* Accelerating work on a national firearms register

@SpeakerJohnson Fraudulent ACA payments represent less than 1% of total subsidies. The problem is system integrity not budgetary collapse. Strengthening verification systems would prevent these lapses without undermining the ACA’s broader success in covering millions of legitimate enrollees.
@SpeakerJohnson The ACA market is no longer experiencing runaway increases; premiums are now similar to employer plans. Early years saw increases as insurers adjusted but premiums have stabilized and converged with employer coverage, & subsidies protect most enrollees from cost increases.#GOPedo
@SpeakerJohnson Illegal aliens are barred from Medicare & ACA marketplace plans with subsidies or enrolling in Medicaid (except for emergencies). CA, Il, NJ, & NY: provide limited state-funded Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented residents, including adults, primarily emergency services. #GOPedo
@SpeakerJohnson Implement better identity checks, stronger death record matching, pre-payment verification, and ongoing audits. Scale matters: $94 million sounds large, but it is statistically marginal. The bigger issue is systemic vulnerability: weak I.D. verification and death record matching.
