Womack's August 15, 2025 constituent newsletter defended the OBBB by characterizing its Medicaid provisions as 'reasonable community engagement requirements' and stating that 'claims suggesting that a majority of Medicaid recipients will lose coverage under this policy are misleading at best.' He asserted the CBO found that 'most of those who will lose coverage are able‑bodied adults choosing not to work'—a characterization that omits the CBO's finding of 7.6 million losing Medicaid coverage, including working families with children who fail to navigate new administrative requirements.
