Ron Johnson Accuses McConnell of 'Significant Breach of Trust'

[HAB911]

Wisconsin senator Ron Johnson, a Republican wildcard in the upper chamber’s health reform discussions, accused majority leader Mitch McConnell Friday of being duplicitous in his struggle to assemble 50 yea votes to pass the Better Care Reconciliation Act.

Johnson told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that the legislation’s changes to Medicaid were reasons for uneasy conservatives to support the bill. But he said that McConnell was representing the Medicaid overhaul as a façade, though he didn’t cite examples. “If our leader is basically saying don't worry about it, we've designed it so that those reforms will never take effect, first of all, that's a pretty significant breach of trust, and why support the bill then?” Johnson asked.

3. McConnell floated that idea 2 weeks ago. And NOW they notice?

He literally said that it's okay to cut Medicaid because "somebody" (his word!) in the future will prevent the Medicaid-cuts from going into effect.
