Freedom Caucus calls for Medicaid reform in boost to Democratic narrative

The House Freedom Caucus handed Democrats ammunition on Monday after dropping an op-ed that calls for reforms to Medicaid and boosted the Democrats’ narrative that the GOP wants to gut the beneficiary program for millions of Americans.

Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) and Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Eric Burlison (R-MO) called on lawmakers to reform Medicaid “to prevent a total collapse of the U.S. dollar and give the American people the opportunities they deserve,” according to an op-ed in Fox News.
