Fearing cuts to Medicaid, Rhode Island’s congressional delegation promises to defend it.

U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Congressmen Gabe Amo and Seth Magaziner are calling on Congress to defend Medicaid as House Republicans have ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee to cut spending under its jurisdiction by $880 billion over the next decade. Rhode Island PBS Weekly’s Michelle San Miguel and WPRI 12’s Politics Editor Ted Nesi explain what proposed cuts would mean to the state.
