Cut wasteful federal spending by eliminating Green New Deal subsidies and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in programs like Medicaid.

When combined with the $1.6 trillion in spending reductions, this bill represents historic savings for taxpayers... To achieve this record level of savings, we are slashing Biden’s Green New Deal spending... We are also rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in federal spending programs, like Medicaid.

Crapo says the bill will reduce spending by cutting Green New Deal subsidies and targeting waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid and other federal programs.

Crapo’s office said the law eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars of Green New Deal subsidies, prevents Medicaid payments for ineligible or duplicate enrollees, increases eligibility verification, and slows Medicaid spending growth by addressing waste, fraud and abuse.

Official Senate statement presents the enacted law as delivering the exact spending and Medicaid reforms in the claim, although the statement is self-assessment rather than independent proof.

Crapo said the Working Families Tax Cuts took significant steps to reform Medicaid and curb waste, fraud and abuse, and he cited Medicaid spending growth and ongoing implementation work. The column reflects continued public defense of the enacted reforms, but it does not show full elimination of all claimed subsidies or all Medicaid waste.

Recent official Senate statement confirms Crapo is still citing the enacted law as delivering Medicaid integrity and spending reforms, but the statement is rhetorical and does not prove complete fulfillment of the broader promise.

CMS said it was implementing statutory changes through a final rule that closed a Medicaid financing loophole and saved billions for federal taxpayers. This is concrete federal implementation of the same broader cost-cutting and program-integrity agenda, though it addresses only one subset of the promise.

Official agency action shows the administration is actively implementing Medicaid spending restraints and anti-abuse rules tied to the enacted law, supporting partial delivery rather than complete fulfillment.
