Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) doubled down on his claim that there won't be Medicaid cuts in President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," despite projections that millions of low-income individuals would lose health insurance as a result of the bill. Johnson, during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," pushed back on independent projections that the bill would lead to 4.8 million people who would lose coverage because of work requirements, saying they won't lose it "unless they choose to do so." ... He added that the people who are complaining about losing their coverage are doing so "because they can't fulfill the paperwork," noting that the policy follows "common sense."
