Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., the chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, told Newsmax on Thursday that Democrats are “saying things that are not true” about the Medicaid provisions included in the megabill legislation signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4.

“People say, ‘Oh my gosh, people will lose their Medicaid,'” Cassidy said on “Wake Up America.” “Wait a second. If you’re able-bodied, meaning you’re not disabled, you don’t have dependents, and you choose not to work, volunteer, or go to school 20 hours a week, you might lose your Medicaid.”

However, Cassidy pointed out that he is a doctor who worked in a public hospital, treating uninsured people for 20 years.
