5:20Now PlayingRepublican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana slipped up on Monday, admitting that congressional Republicans are coming for Medicare.
In an appearance on CNBC, Cassidy said congressional Republicans will look at cutting not just discretionary spending in the budget—to partially pay for President Donald Trump's tax cuts for the rich—but also mandatory spending like Medicare, the overwhelmingly popular and critical program that provides health care to more than 68 million older Americans.
"Let's look at Medicare: Is there some way we can cut Medicare so that, excuse me, reform Medicare so that benefits stay the same but that it's less expensive, more efficient?" Cassidy said. “I would say that there is, and that's where our opportunity lies.”
Guest host Aaron Maté and former Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich discuss Cassidy’s slip of the tongue, and what “reforming” Medicare will likely really mean.
