6 governors lead bipartisan charge against Senate health care bill

In today's political climate, it's rare to find bipartisanship. But as President Donald Trump calls on Senate Republicans to pass a bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, governors — Republican and Democratic are unified in opposition.

The Senate health care bill would cut Medicaid spending by $772 billion over the next decade, leaving millions of low-income people uninsured in states where Medicaid was expanded under the Affordable Care Act.

The governors from states that took advantage of the Medicaid expansion have worked together in writing letters, holding teleconferences with reporters and hosting private meetings with members of Congress. Some have called for no repeal, others a more measured approach.
