Republicans, Democrats compete on Medicaid reforms in Trump’s law

The Republicans and Democrats of the Senate remain divided on the MEDICAID question a few hours after the “big, big bill” of President Donald Trump adopted a key vote in the Senate on Saturday evening.

Senator Jim Banks, R-Ind., And Senator Chris Coons, D-Del., Both appeared on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss Trump’s law following the vote 51-49.

Banks argued that Medicaid reforms would only increase some people.

“Medicaid reforms would affect valid Americans, those who are sitting at the house who can work, who do not work, who have no sick or sick mom, they should not receive Medicaid without working,” he said. “And in addition to that, the bill would distance Medicaid from illegal immigrants.”

Coons conceded that there are states that use their state funding to provide health care “to undocumented persons”, but argued that Trump’s $ 900 billion on the program “do not consist in throwing people from Medicaid who are not legally.”

“It is a question of imposing more and more requirements on the beneficiaries of Medicaid,” said the Democrat.

Banks argued that everyday American taxes will increase if the bill is not adopted.

“If we do not adopt this bill, everyone’s taxes will increase $ 2,000 per household on average, and it is not just for ordinary Americans who work hard every day,” he said.

The persistent concerns in the two chambers concerning Medicaid – in particular the tax rate of Medicaid suppliers and the effect of direct payments to the States – energy tax credits, tax deduction (salt) of the state and local and others turned out to be alcohol points which threatened the survival of the bill.

Coons, however, said that the Americans who do not believe that the point of view of the Democrats should listen to Senator Tom Tillis, RN.C., who, with Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., Voted against the bill.

“Don’t believe me. Listen to Senator Tom Tillis,” said Coons. “He said strongly that this bill is a bad case for the middle class. This will increase health care costs and rejoice millions of health care.”

Trump criticized Tillis and Paul on Sunday morning on social networks.

A few hours later, Tillis announced that he would not ask for re -election.

After the vote, the chief of the minority Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., demanded that the text of the Bill of the Giant will be read aloud before the start of the debates. After 2 p.m., the Senate clerks were still about 120 pages less than reading the reading of the 940 pages text.

Once the reading is completed, the two parties will each receive approximately 10 hours to debate the bill.
