We are committed to protecting and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse so these programs serve those who truly need them—our seniors and the most vulnerable—not able-bodied adults or illegal immigrants.
Protect and strengthen Medicare and Medicaid by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House roll call on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed 218-214. The vote list records Williams (TX), Republican, as Aye.
Public Law 119-21 includes a Health subtitle with Medicaid subchapters titled 'Reducing Fraud and Improving Enrollment Processes,' 'Preventing Wasteful Spending,' and 'Stopping Abusive Financing Practices,' plus a Medicare chapter titled 'Strengthening Eligibility Requirements.' It also includes a health tax subchapter titled 'Preventing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.'
Assessments
Williams voted Aye on final House passage of H.R. 1, later enacted as Public Law 119-21, which included Medicaid fraud, waste, enrollment, spending, and financing provisions plus Medicare eligibility-related provisions. That materially advances the promise in the same federal term, but the evidence does not show comprehensive protection and strengthening of both Medicare and Medicaid or completed implementation of the full broad outcome.
