Republicans REVOLT Against Bill Cutting Medicaid!

The Jimmy Dore Show - A podcast by Jimmy Dore

Categories:

Republican divisions over changes to Medicaid — the federal health care program for poor, elderly and disabled Americans — are becoming the chief hurdle to getting President Trump's major tax, immigration and energy agenda through Congress. GOP lawmakers who represent swing districts insist they will not vote for any proposal that strips benefits. But conservatives are demanding deep cuts in spending and say restructuring Medicaid is one of the clearest ways to achieve that goal. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Republicans will be able to pass the bill despite the hits MAGA supporters on Medicait will take as a result. Plus segments on President Donald Trump dismantling corrupt ex-FBI head James Comey and the Justice Department’s recent announcement of an investigation into fraud committed by UnitedHealth, the company formerly headed by slain CEO Brian Thompson. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Gavin Newsom!
