And now for a moment of clarity.

1.8 million people are enrolled in Indiana and Medicaid.

It covers 1 in 6 adults, ages 19 and 64, covers 3 at 8 children,

covers 2 and 3 nursing home residents, covers 41% of births.

Would you vote for a bill that has any cuts to Medicaid?

No, we tried to improve it actually in Deanna just recently.

And our liberal newspaper had articles.

Three and a half billion was stolen of Medicaid by nursing homes, by hospital,

building Taj Mahal and stealing from seniors.

But actually, that was Biden

rule that allowed now upcharge federal government for Medicaid at the private insurance rate

and cut services. And since Congress doesn't look at spending, they directly just funneled money

from the federal government. So we actually want to make sure that Medicaid is better for the people

that it's intended to. And then let's think how the rest of it is going to work, how we can

make health care more affordable. And that is something executive water. I mean, President Trump

doesn't get a lot of credit for it, but his executive board on price transparency in February can

really change the dynamics. And I think that should be a bipartisan issue. But unfortunately,

machine here is very powerful with money and a tax.

I think one of the interesting aspects of the Medicaid discussion that, as I said at the beginning, sort of will translate into how within

the Republican caucus the members look at what a cut is and what it is you are cutting.

And so right now there is a discussion about what is a benefit cut.

And it's a very interesting reporting that if, you know, basically if you ask most people, when you talk about a cut in benefits, it would be a cut in the benefit I received from the program, right?
