Work capable adults need to get off of the taxpayer roles and they need to get into private health insurance in private employment. This is what Secretary Besson and President Trump are talking about when they say reprivatize the economy.

This is good for people who are currently on Medicaid in Kentucky and around the country. It's good for you. We're taking away your Medicaid.

Their plan is unserious, I think is the bottom line. And if you were to look at the Senate plan, What we see is they're proposing $4 billion, and it cuts over 10 years. We've got a $2.25 trillion a year structural deficit that needs to be addressed, and they're not really addressing it.

Well... I continue to talk, I continue to work, see what we can find out. Thanks for your time.

This is what Secretary Besson and President Trump are talking about. when they say reprivatize the economy.

This is good for people who are currently on Medicaid in Kentucky and around the country. We want people to not be on Medicaid. We want them to have good private sector jobs that pay them more and give them better quality private health insurance. Understood.
