Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, expresses concerns about the new bill, highlighting flaws such as cuts to Medicaid and clean energy tax credits that will affect the most vulnerable, and disappointment over the bill adding to the deficit, as well as the removal of the ban on federal funding for gender transition surgeries in the final version. Patrick T. Brown, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, joins to explain the pro-life provisions in the bill and his reaction to the legislation stopping forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry for one year. He also shares the changes being made to Medicaid and how they will impact American families, and whether any changes have been made to Medicare.
