Mike Lawler’s No Good, Very Bad Day of Miserably Failing to Defend His Medicaid Cuts

During two separate interviews that both resulted in tense on-air shouting matches, Lawler claimed that the local hospitals and doctors in his district who are concerned about the nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts he voted to pass were “parroting talking points” about having to cut back essential services and staff.

YIKES!
