GOP Rep. Bacon: $880 Billion in Cuts Would Impact Medicaid, But I’ve Been ‘Assured’ by Leadership Cuts Will Be Smaller

EXCERPT:

BACON: "You are right, if the final numbers are $880B out of ENC, I think you're right, it would affect Medicaid. But I was assured by the chairmen of both committees that are involved with this, as well as the leadership, like our Whip Tom Emmer, that the final numbers look a lot more like the Senate numbers. The Senate hasn't agreed to these numbers and they won't. They will agree to something significantly less, we believe. So I voted to just move this forward and to create the negotiations between the House and Senate. And I believe most Republicans, at least ones I affiliate with, are looking at significantly less reductions in ENC, which is where Medicaid is at."
