JD Vance says millions losing health insurance is 'immaterial' [View all]
Senate Republicans barely got the votes on Tuesday to pass the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” Act—which could lead to roughly 17 million people losing their health insurance, cause millions more to have their food stamps yanked away, and cause energy prices to skyrocket.
Vice President JD Vance sought to get GOPers on board by saying that all of those negative things are just "immaterial" "minutiae" compared to the money the bill provides to help Republicans deport immigrants.
"The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass," Vance wrote in a post on X. "Everything else—the [Congressional Budget Office] score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy—is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions."
Not only is Vance's statement absurd as he claims that actively harming the poorest among us is not important, but his statement is also false.
