Trump falsely claimed that under the bill "your Medicaid is left alone." The bill reduces Medicaid spending by hundreds of billions of dollars and establishes new eligibility requirements, changes that are projected to cause millions to lose their health coverage. Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner exaggerated when he said "this bill will kick about 16 million Americans off of health care." The Congressional Budget Office estimated that about 11.8 million people would become uninsured in 2034 because of the Senate's bill.
