Agresti, however, argued that the changes proposed in the Big Beautiful Bill are necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Medicaid program and to prevent abuse and waste.
\”It’s not about punishing people who are working hard and struggling to make ends meet,\” Agresti said. \”It’s about making sure that taxpayer dollars are being used efficiently and effectively to help those who truly need it the most.\”
He pointed out that the current system allows for loopholes and loopholes that are often exploited by those looking to take advantage of the system.
\”We have a responsibility to the American people to ensure that the programs we put in place are being used properly and are actually benefiting those they are intended to help,\” Agresti said.
He also emphasized that the reforms proposed in the Big Beautiful Bill are not intended to strip benefits from those who are truly in need.
\”The bill includes provisions to protect those who are below the poverty line, those who are working, and those who are Americans,\” Agresti explained. \”It’s about ensuring that the program is sustainable and efficient so that it can continue to provide support to those who need it most.\”
As Congress continues to debate the Big Beautiful Bill, it is clear that there are differing opinions on how best to address the issues facing the Medicaid program. However, experts like Agresti are working to provide accurate information and data to ensure that the decisions made are based on facts rather than misinformation.
