Senate Parliamentarian Helps Dems Keep Medicaid for Illegal Aliens, Thwarts Big Beautiful Bill Provision

Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill blocking illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid benefits had to be removed.

Senate Republicans are moving the legislation through the upper chamber using the budget reconciliation process, which means it only requires a majority vote to pass.

Normally, bills are subject to a filibuster, which can only be ended with the vote of 60 members.

But the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 allows legislation to bypass this requirement if its principal focus is permanent spending and revenue programs.
