NEW: CNN’s Dana Bash gets thoroughly schooled on Medicaid work requirements, tries to end the conversation but gets cornered by Scott Bessent. This is satisfying to watch. BASH: “You’ve seen and heard a lot of the concern, including and especially from Republicans, who are the most vocal in Congress,... show more

Medicaid’s collapse isn’t just about bureaucratic bloat—it’s the compounding effect of millions added to the rolls through illegal immigration and ER loopholes. Work requirements aren’t punitive; they’re basic accountability. The real fraud? A system that prioritizes non-citizens over veterans and working Americans. While D.C. obsesses over “improper payment” semantics, they ignore the structural theft draining taxpayer-funded care. Bessent’s right: infantilizing the poor is elitist. But let’s not pretend the problem is just paperwork—it’s a flood of unvetted demand crashing a system already gutted by waste. Time to secure the border and slash the slush funds. The numbers behind Medicaid’s unraveling demand daylight—see the evidence:

I do love Scott Bessent. And Dana Bash is proof that a low IQ serves you well as a CNN talking head.

The same logic as Democrats saying black people can't figure out how to get government IDs.

It is interesting how if the Trump administration implements ANY policies that previous democratic presidents did (work requirements for Medicaid) then somehow it’s a national crisis and unpopular. It’s only “unpopular” if Trump does it.

Stop acting like helping means handouts with no rules. Real help means real work no more whining about it

Democrats controlled msm shut down again with facts.

Big Beautiful Bill is more beautiful than ever!

Scott Bessent dismantled Bash's narrative with facts and clarity. He exposed how condescending and out of touch the opposition sounds. The idea that work requirements are "cruel" is elitist nonsense.

Does Dana not get how “cumbersome” it is for those who work to provide so many benefits for those who don’t work but can work? It is the people taking advantage of benefits that are making this more “cumbersome” for those who really need it!
