                               RESOLUTION


 
             Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.

Whereas Medicaid was established on July 30, 1965, by the enactment of the 
        Social Security Amendments of 1965;
Whereas Medicaid was originally created to provide medical and health-related 
        services to children, single mothers, the disabled, and individuals 
        living below the Federal poverty line;
Whereas Medicaid is jointly funded and administered as a partnership between the 
        States and the Federal Government;
Whereas Congress has a responsibility to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in 
        Medicaid to ensure its long term viability for Americans who need it the 
        most;
Whereas the One Big Beautiful Bill Act made important progress in rooting out 
        waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid while implementing common-sense work 
        requirements for able bodied working age adults living above the Federal 
        poverty line; and
Whereas, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Medicaid spending in 2035 will be 
        $200,000,000,000 higher than in 2025: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) celebrates the 60th anniversary of Medicaid; and
            (2) will continue to protect Medicaid from waste, fraud, 
        and abuse to ensure its longevity for the most vulnerable 
        Americans such as children, single mothers, the disabled, and 
        individuals living below the Federal poverty line.
                                 <all>
