Rep. Chip Roy says GOP leaders need to 'show us the math' in tax cut, Medicaid talks

President Trump’s agenda is facing a major test in Congress. To help fund tax cuts, some Republicans support significant cuts to Medicaid. A Congressional Budget Office analysis found the proposal would mean 5.5 million fewer people on Medicaid and about 2.5 million without insurance. The cuts would save $700 billion. Lisa Desjardins discussed the GOP plans with Texas Rep. Chip Roy.
