So, what do I tell 663,000 [North Carolina] people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore, guys?
I will vote against the motion to proceed and the final bill assuming it does not change.
It is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made.
This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands in the expansion population.
