White House Senior Adviser Kellyanne Conway denied that the Senate’s health care bill would cut Medicaid, even though the draft revealed Thursday suggests otherwise. “These are not cuts to Medicaid,”Conway told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week. “This slows the rate for the future and it allows governors more flexibility with Medicaid dollars because they’re closest to the people in need.” But the draft of the health care bill Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released on Thursday includes steep cuts to Medicaid, aiming to phase out the federal funding implemented under Obamacare for states to expand Medicaid eligibility. The non partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the House version of the bill would cut Medicaid spending by $880 billion, which President Donald Trump accounted for in his budget.
