The new Senate bill's major provisions

Compassionate conservatism in action..

First denying that there are cuts to Medicaid (as recent as yesterday), now a different story, equally harsh..

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway says people on Medicaid who will lose coverage under the Republican plan to repeal Obamacare could find jobs that provide health insurance. When the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid coverage, Conway said, that "opened it up" to healthy people who could theoretically work, Conway told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.

As Jonathan Cohn points out in the Huffington Post, however, Conway's reasoning is faulty: "The majority of able-bodied adults on Medicaid already have jobs. The problem is that they work as parking lot attendants and child care workers, manicurists and dishwashers ― in other words, low-paying jobs that typically don't offer insurance. Take away their Medicaid and they won't be covered."

Research from the Kaiser Family Foundation bears that out: "Among Medicaid adults (including parents and childless adults — the group targeted by the Medicaid expansion) nearly 8 in 10 live in working families, and a majority are working themselves." Fifty-nine percent of them work either part or full time. Their jobs, however, do not offer health insurance.

Kellyanne Conway: Those on Medicaid who will lose insurance can get jobs

And it was the white working class that tilted the election towards Trump, right? They are the ones that will be suffering.
