dean heller and, for that matter, cory gardner would be voting to reduce the medicaid population by almomost have a solution to that opioid issue that so many people have raised. let's put up what we know to be true about the changes to the bill. option for cheaper plan with fewer benefits. that's what so many people have called for. why does john berman have to pay for maternity benefits when he isn't going to need it? then the hsa payment on premiums, your own spending accounts. here we go. $45 billion allotted for substance abuse, opioid treatment, they think that will fill the gap of what people need, no changes to medicaid from the previous bill. the previous bill had $772 billion cuts to medicaid over the next ten years. no repeal on the obamacare taxes on the wealthy. i think this is what rand paul objects to. karoun, what do you see? >> i think about two weeks ago, ohio governor john kasich said the $45 billion is a nice number, but it's basically a drop in the bucket, a band-aid on a gushing wound of the opioid crisis. i think the problem for a lot of republicans is that they have g
