SNIP...............
Appearing on the Senate floor shortly after the drafts text went online, McConnell listed some general Republican policy goals such as eliminating mandates, cutting taxes, and strengthening affordability. He also said: We also agree on the need to strengthen Medicaid.
Leaving a health care meeting on the Hill on Thursday morning, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) echoed McConnells sentiment, telling reporters, Medicaid is not being cut from our perspective.
This is not true. The Senates bill would massively cut Medicaid, threatening to completely phase out the program as we currently know it.
.......
The legislation would roll back Obamacares expansion of Medicaid, starting in four short years. This would, per the CBOs scoring of the House bill, leave 14 million people without health insurance.

You are saying exactly what his base says, and what's more they actually believe it.
I hoe you reconsider your post. I find it offensive.
