Medicaid Massacre

So, late last night, the House Budget Committee voted to advance the Republican budget bill (aka the #MedicaidMassacre bill) to the House Rules Committee by 17-16 along party lines, with 4 Republican members voting "present."

The Republicans who voted for the bill included:

  • CA-05 Tom McClintock
  • CA-23 Jay Obernolte
  • GA-01 Buddy Carter
  • IN-03 Marlin Stutzman
  • IN-09 Erin Houchin
  • KS-04 Ron Estes
  • MI-01 Jack Bergman
  • NC-06 Addison McDowell
  • NC-11 Chuck Edwards
  • NC-14 Tim Moore
  • OH-15 Mike Carey
  • PA-11 Lloyd Smucker
  • TX-19 Jodey Arrington
  • TX-26 Brandon Gill
  • UT-01 Blake Moore
  • VA-06 Ben Cline
  • WI-06 Glenn Grothman

The four Republicans who voted "present" are actually ultra hard-liners who had previously opposed the bill for not being draconian ENOUGH:
