What the Evidence Shows

However, the claim that the legislation is "trying to rebuild the health care infrastructure that got decimated under Joe Biden" is misleading. Multiple sources indicate that recent Republican-led legislation has included significant cuts to health and nutrition programs, which experts warn will harm health care access for millions, including rural hospitals.inquisitr.cominquisitr.com‘If You’re an Illegal Alien, You Don’t Deserve Health Care’medicarerights.orgmedicarerights.orgFinal House Vote on Devastating Health and Food Assistance Cuts

Vance and other Republicans have blamed Biden for rural hospital closures while supporting large Medicaid cuts under Trump-era policies that threaten healthcare access.

Additionally, Vance accuses the Biden administration of providing taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants, framing it as a misuse of funds.vance.senate.govvance.senate.govSENATOR VANCE BLASTS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR PROVIDING TAXPAYER-FUNDED... This is a partisan framing rather than an established fact about health care infrastructure damage.

In summary, while the legislation includes tax cuts as Vance claims, the assertion that it rebuilds health care infrastructure damaged under Biden is contradicted by evidence of cuts to health programs and expert warnings about negative impacts on healthcare access. The statement mixes accurate elements with misleading or partisan claims about health care.
