The Senate’s bill to repeal and replace Obamacare includes a roughly $800 billion cut in Medicaid spending over the next ten years, in comparison to current law. The White House says it is not cut, calling it instead a slow-down in spending growth. Sarah Dash, President and CEO of the non-partisan Alliance for Health Policy, joins Soledad O’Brien to explain the complicated funding dynamics of Medicaid and to navigate the nuances of whether the proposal is in fact a cut or a slow-down.
