Sen. Ron Johnson says there's enough opposition in the Senate to hold up DJT's Beautiful Bill...
...here are some excerpts...
--------------------
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” that the current spending cuts in the bill “are wimpy and anemic,” adding that he “still would support the bill even with wimpy and anemic cuts if they weren’t going to explode the debt.”
“The problem is the math doesn’t add up,” Paul said, adding that “they’re going to explode the debt.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has also criticized potential Medicaid cuts. The bill, if passed in its current form, is expected to rescind health coverage for about 8.6 million people, according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.
Hawley told NBC News shortly after the House passed the bill that “the Senate will basically write its own version of this bill, and I just want to make sure that there are no Medicaid benefit cuts.”
In an op-ed in The New York Times earlier this month, Hawley accused a wing of the Republican Party of wanting “Republicans to build our big, beautiful bill around slashing health insurance for the working poor.”
“But that argument is both morally wrong and politically suicidal,” Hawley said.
