Look, the bottom line is that the Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid for people who need it and the work requirements as we saw in Georgia. Do you know how many people now are on Medicaid in Georgia after they put in similar work requirements? 5,000 out of 800,000 eligible. So this is a backdoor ruse to just kick people off Medicaid. Millions of people off Medicaid. Democrats are going to fight it all the way. Anyone else? (20:50–21:00)
