Trumpcare Bad for W.Va., Senator Says

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives approved a Trump-backed healthcare bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Joe Manchin believes the bill has major issues and will likely move slowly through the U.S. Senate.

Manchin called the new healthcare bill “troubling” Wednesday and says it will hurt thousands of West Virginians – especially those on Medicaid.
