House Passes ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’

The U.S. House has narrowly approved President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” on a vote of 215-214. It now goes to the Senate where revisions are not only possible, but likely.

Key components of the bill: Tax cuts for the middle class, plus removal of taxes on tips and reductions in the tax on Social Security.  President Donald Trump personally lobbied for approval of the bill and blasted a couple of the holdout Republicans, saying they should leave the party if all they wanted to do was “grandstand.”

The bill does firm up completion of the southern border wall, and also eliminates many of the steps that leftists had taken to put medicaid and tax dollars in the hands of illegal aliens. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.

Why Democrats Love DOGE?

As we have been reporting, the Democrat Party is in shambles. They lack political leadership in Congress and in the media. They have no policies or issues to run on, and their bitterness towards Donald Trump is growing old. Democrat voters are tired of them, and it shows in this astonishing new poll. Here’s more from Lori Colley.

The Return Of The King

Juan O. Savin joins David “Nino” Rodriguez to chat about the plane crashes, tariffs, Communist China and monumental cases of fraud, now being uncovered, in the Social Security and Medicaid systems.

Savin says President Donald Trump is off to a dramatic start but he won’t really be able to do all he wants until his people are in full power, meaning, we’re still on tenterhooks until the Trump cabinet nominees are approved. Look for Trump to move quickly to lower energy costs and greatly expand energy development.

Hospitals Killing Covid Patients

Dr. Peterson Pierre, of America’s Frontline Doctors, warns truth-seekers that Biden’s Bounty is allowing hospitals across the country to kill patients at an astonishing rate at the expense of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pierre says hospitalized Covid patients are being placed on rigid protocols, where the mortality rate is high and family is kept in the dark about procedures. In the following video, he breaks down the protocols, including the insane amount of money the federal government provides to hospitals and coroners to falsify medical information.

How Medicaid Hurts the Poor

“Most physicians can’t afford to accept Medicaid” patients, says Dr. Alieta Eck, a primary-care physician based in Piscataway, New Jersey. “If you’re getting paid about $17 per visit, it won’t be long before you can’t pay your staff or pay your rent.”

Medicaid is the nation’s health care system for the poor. It’s funded jointly by the federal government and the states. Medicaid is either the first- or second-largest budget item in all 50 states and the program is slated for a massive expansion under President Obama’s health-care reform law. Despite the program’s huge and growing overall cost, reimbursements to medical providers are so low that many practices refuse to accept Medicaid patients, causing long waiting periods for treatment.

America’s Costliest Scam

If you think credit card fraud is the country’s biggest scam, think again. Credit card fraud amounts to petty theft alongside Medicare and Medicaid fraud, estimated to cost the taxpayers somewhere between $60 billion and well over $100 billion a year. Even the illegal drug business takes in less than the crime of scamming the government out of health care dollars intended for the poor and the elderly.

Now, the Obama Administration is pledging to step up its efforts to fight fraud. New tools, such as strike forces and a computer system that’s modeled on technology used in the private sector, promise to stop fraud in its tracks. Will these new efforts finally put a stop to America’s biggest crime? Or will the feds – who have dedicated and rededicated themselves to stopping such fraud for more than 40 years – fail yet again? Reason.TV investigates.
