Sen. Bill Cassidy said that if President Trump keeps his promise to the American people, there will be “some sort of Medicaid expansion.”
The Louisiana Republican told reporters Tuesday that Trump told voters last year during the presidential campaign that he wouldn’t pull coverage for people who had it and that people with pre-existing conditions would continue to have coverage.
“If he is going to fulfill his contract, there will have to be still some sort of a Medicaid expansion program I think,” Cassidy said.
Cassidy, who proposed his own Obamacare repeal plan with Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, didn’t elaborate on the other sticking point: how such an expansion would be funded.
