Kate Bachelder: All the Trump Bill Does on Medicaid Is Try to Keep It Growing at 2 or 3% a Year, This Is Not a Medicaid Cut

RUSH EXCERPT:
BACHELDER: "It’s a large by absolute number because those programs have grown so enormous. Medicaid and out the share of the population on Medicaid is twice the rate of the poverty rate. The program is growing when thth fastest growing entitltlents. All this bill does on n dicaid is try tkeep Medicaid growing at two or 3% this is not a Medicaid cut Medicaid to spending is going to increase. Does that by making surere folks are eligible. Making sure fofos are working part-time at 20 hours a a ek. Pretty sensible reforms. The same on food stamps it tries to keep statat from duckinout of work requirements they have been trying to avoid. And make sure these benefits are going to people who are eligible for them. That narrative is totally kicked free of reality it actually will make some progress in getting those programs under control."
