Bill Cassidy actually said...

"no one likes change, even from worse to better."

"Medicaid, as I like to say, is the illusion of coverage without the power of access."

"I am a doctor who takes care of Medicaid patients in a public hospital clinic, so I am very familiar that Medicaid can actually have a beneficial effect."

"So let us be clear: When we speak about using services more widely, it is not only monetary but most importantly it is about making sure that patients' health is not harmed."
