Democrats hammer Vought over Medicaid claims: 'Outrageous lies' [View all]

(The Hill) Democratic lawmakers are admonishing President Trump’s budget chief for claiming the GOP’s mega-bill will not cause anyone to lose Medicaid benefits, contradicting independent assessments that war billions could lose coverage if it becomes law.

Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday’s episode of “State of the Union” that concerns over the Trump administration’s domestic policy package are “ridiculous.”

“This bill will preserve and protect the programs, the social safety net, but it will make it much more common sense,” he said. “No one will lose coverage as a result of this bill.”
