The lawmaker said that he did not have a problem with some of the marquee changes to Medicaid that his House Republican counterparts wanted, including stricter work requirements, booting illegal immigrants from benefit rolls and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse in the program that serves tens of millions of Americans.
However, he noted that about 1.3 million Missourians rely on Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and contended that most were working.
"These are not people who are sitting around, these are people who are working," he said. "They’re on Medicaid because they cannot afford private health insurance, and they don't get it on the job."
"And I just think it's wrong to go to those people and say, ‘Well, you know, we know you're doing the best, we know that you're working hard, but we're going to take away your healthcare access,’" he continued.
