Speaker Mike Johnson, R-la. On Sunday, the defense of House Republicans passed the charges passed last month by the Budget Bill House Republicans, saying millions of Americans could lose their chances of the program, saying “Unless they choose to do so, 4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid.”

Johnson told NBC News “Meet the Media” that the bill imposes “common sense” job requirements on certain Medicaid recipients, adding that he “don’t buy” the argument that it is “unclever” to require toned Medicaid recipients to work, attend work training programs or volunteers for 80 hours a month.

"You tell me you're going to need these young people, for example, who can only work in the community or work voluntarily for 20 hours a week. Is that too much trouble for them?" Johnson told Meet Media host Kristen Welker. "I don't buy it. Americans didn't buy it."

The bill also adds new rules and paperwork for these Medicaid recipients and adds eligibility checks and resolution verification.

Johnson argued that the job requirements “should be made long ago.”

"It follows common sense to complain that these people lose coverage due to the inability to perform paperwork," Johnson added.

Johnson’s comments are as Republicans face cuts to Medicaid cuts in the “A Big Beautiful Bill” package along House parties last month.

R-Neb. Rep. Mike Flood and R-Iowa's Ashley Hinson were booed when referring to the support of packages for their area's event. R-iowa Senator Joni Ernst also faces a backlash after telling the City Hall attendees on Friday after defending the proposed layoffs.

The move also faces criticism from some Senate Republicans. Last month, before the House passed the bill, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo).

Democrats and other opponents of the bill have seized on many provisions, including hundreds of billions of dollars in supplemental nutrition assistance programs and Medicaid, a federal program that provides health care for low-income Americans.

Democrats, including Sen. Raphael Warnock, who appeared in the program after Johnson appeared on D-Ga, argued that Medicaid recipients who were reportedly required would impose new job requirements along with new job requirements, which would result in millions of Medicare losses.

"This is what this legislation does, they're working on it, and they're going to throw the poor away," Warnock told Welk.

Warnock mentioned his inspection of his hometown in Georgia, saying: “It shows that this work report requirement – ​​because it’s what we’re talking about, not the work requirement – ​​work report requirement is very good at differentiating people from health care.”

“It’s simply not good at motivating work,” he added.

The bill now heads to the Senate, and Johnson said he is confident that the bill will set off from Congress by July 4 and head towards President Donald Trump's desk.

"We will do this work. The sooner the better." Johnson said Sunday.
