Griffin: Medicaid Cuts in the Senate Bill Come in 2021, After the 2018 and 2020 Elections

‘The Senate bill is rather clever

GRIFFIN: "Well, if they don’t pass it, they’re going to have to go back to their constituents in 2018 and explain — the Republicans are going to have to explain why they didn’t do what they said they were going to do, repeal and replace. But I would point out that the Senate bill is rather clever because the Medicaid cuts come in 2021. That’s after not only 2018 elections, but also the 2020."
