Tom Cotton went home to Arkansas and gave a nice speech about how "important" Medicaid is. Just two weeks earlier, his vote for Trump's budget bill put an expiration date on healthcare for over 200,000 Arkansans, forcing the federal government to pull the plug on the state's ARHOME program. Experts warn the cuts could shut down more than half of Arkansas's rural hospitals in a state that already ranks near the worst for infant mortality, and when asked about the damage, Cotton made excuses, blamed "criminals" and passed the blame to state lawmakers.

Mike Lawler Says the Estimate That His Budget Bill Will Leave 860,000 More New Yorkers Uninsured Is 'Not Accurate.' The Estimates Run as High as 1.1 Million.

On Face the Nation, Rep. Mike Lawler waved off an estimate that Trump's budget bill will leave about 860,000 more New Yorkers uninsured by 2034. KFF's brief, built on Congressional Budget Office estimates, put New York's losses at the same 860,000, within a range of 640,000 to 1.1 million. To change the subject, he then claimed a New York home-care program grew from $10 million to $11 billion in three years. It was already $1.3 billion in 2017.
