Retiring GOP senator savages Medicaid cuts in Trump's "big, beautiful bill"

• Tillis voted Saturday against starting debate on the bill, and has declared he'll vote "no" on the final version.

Zoom in: "I'm telling the president, you have been misinformed," Tillis said on Sunday night.

• "What do I tell 663,000 people in two years, three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding's not there anymore," Tillis asked.
• He compared Trump's promise on Medicaid to former President Obama's "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it" quote on the Affordable Care Act.
• The Senate's version of the "big, beautiful bill" would result in 12 million more people without health insurance in 2034 than today, the Congressional Budget Office projects.

Between the lines: The Senate is expected to vote on Monday on an amendment by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) that would lower the federal matching share (FMAP) for states that have expanded their Medicaid programs.

• The plan, which would start in 2031, Semafor reports, would cut billions in federal support for state Medicaid programs.
