I think the people in the White House, those advising the president are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise…

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?

It is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump [when he met with Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee]. He said, ‘We can go after waste, fraud and abuse’ on any programs.

In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species.

The people in the White House advising the president … are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

I’m telling the president that you have been misinformed.

What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off Medicaid?

Alright, so what do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding’s not there anymore, guys?

As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and at times even joked about, I haven't exactly been excited about running for another term.

It is inescapable that this bill, in its current form, will betray the very promise that Donald J. Trump made in the Oval Office.

Now, Republicans are about to make a mistake on health care and betraying a promise.

I’m telling the president that you have been misinformed. You supporting the Senate mark will hurt people who are eligible and qualified for Medicaid.
