‘First time we were hearing of them’: The GOP megabill is packed with surprises for some Republicans

The House Energy and Commerce Committee was 16 hours into a nearly 27-hour markup when it became clear that top Republicans on the panel weren’t clear on what key Medicaid provisions in the legislation they were actively debating would actually do.

Couple that with confusion from moderates over the committee’s complex and controversial proposal — including language to dramatically overhaul the popular health safety-net program with new work requirements and cost-sharing mandates — and it spells possible troubles ahead for the domestic policy megabill central to enacting President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda.
