Price explained to a Marine recovering from addiction why the Republican health care plan would end coverage for opioid addiction in Medicaid.

Another man said Medicaid had saved his life and kept him from financial bankruptcy. Price said it was wonderful the man had received the care he had, but "that's not necessarily true for everybody." Price argued that the program was "having extreme difficulty" providing care, and that one out of every three physicians won't see Medicaid patients.
