 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.
