Washington, D.C. - Congressman Brady, of Texas, today voted to fix yet another poorly thought out provision of the Obamacare bill. H.R. 2576, amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate a provision that would allow couples making as much as $64,000 to apply for Medicaid, a program intended for the very poorest of Americans.

“Obamacare legislation has time and time again proven itself to be ridden with snafus, glitches, and mistakes. The MAGI provision was a nonsensical provision that would let early retirees making as much as $64,000 a year as a couple to enter in to Medicaid. Already, the government doesn’t have the funding to support this program—yet this loophole could add 3 million more people to the program,” said Brady.

“A couple making more than the average U.S. household should not be eligible for taxpayer dollars meant to care for the very poorest of Americans---whose numbers as a result of the economy are growing by the day.”
