An hour later at 16:00 UTC, she addressed concerns about misinformation surrounding healthcare legislation by asserting that “While misinformation runs rampant, here are the FACTS – the One Big Beautiful Bill protects and strengthens Medicaid for Americans who truly need it – pregnant women, children, seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families while eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.”
Later that day at 21:00 UTC, Rep. De La Cruz advocated for legislative action on economic relief measures with a call to send a bill to President Biden’s desk. She emphasized its benefits stating “Let’s send the One Big Beautiful Bill to @POTUS!
