McConnell pointed to a specific provision—Page 57 of the Democratic counterproposal—which seeks to repeal alterations made to Medicaid policies, specifically those that remove benefits from ineligible recipients such as able-bodied young men and illegal immigrants.

He emphasizes, "This is a fact—no refuting it," and criticizes Democrats for prioritizing political messaging over responsible governance, accusing them of an "assault on taxpayers".
