GOP Rep. breaks with Trump: Cutting health care subsidies does 'opposite' of what he promised
BY AVERY ANAPOL - 10/13/17 07:54 AM EDT

A Republican lawmaker slammed President Trump’s action on health care Friday, saying it is the “opposite” of what he promised.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) said that cutting key payments to ObamaCare insurers will mean more of her constituents will be uninsured.

“POTUS promised more access, affordable coverage,” Ros-Lehtinen tweeted. “This does opposite.”
