Doctor confronts Vice President Mike Pence over Medicaid cuts in Iowa.

February 1, 2020, 11:08 PMVice President Mike Pence sat down for an interview with ABC News.At a campaign stop in Iowa, Vice President Mike Pence was confronted by an emergency room doctor from Michigan who questioned the Trump administration's handling of Medicaid and Medicare.

Pence reverted back to his record during his tenure as the governor of Indiana, pivoting away from his current position as a member of Trump's cabinet. In an interview with ABC News, Davidson claimed the encounter was impromptu and that he was in Iowa for a press conference related to his committee. "It just seems to be an overall pattern of them taking healthcare away from people," Davidson told ABC News.

That piece needs to be made into an ad for the Democrats. That is all Trump does is make up and tell lies. Liar in Chief.

Hitlers evil twin.

Me watching republicans hurt their poor white voters.

That is their plan to cut Medicaid, medicare,SS everywhere, GOP & WH this is their plan ,vote & vote Blue stop all these by stopping this corrupted dynasty

You have to confront those devils in the outhouse opps I Meant White House

'Grace' is a powerful thing...with all these lies and deception

The “family” doesn’t care!!! Period.

This sis up neatly everything about the trump idiocracy.

Medicaid is different in every state.

Yeah Trump tries to tell the people about your new corrupt canidate and gets in trouble what did Biden do but it's Trump or Biden next election and I'm still In charge no matter what get me outta shitty racist ND holywood or anybodey with good help

No that would be Adam Schiff

Trump is a liar and a conman, and has always surrounded himself with his own kind. Trump supporters who think otherwise, prove me wrong. Show me that trump's entire life hasn't been filled with crime..

Did Pence challenge him to pushups?

Absolutely! Make things up everyday 😳

not one doctor has confronted Pence, The federal government is not involved in medicaid the states are. No cuts to medicare they got cut by obamacare.

Pence has NO idea about anything that is going on. He just reads his lines and goes back to pretending he is some big f’n deal.

This article links to the plans he was referring to. They don't seem as simplistic & directly impactful as he suggests. But he criticized the VP out of nowhere so let's give him credibility & make some headlines! Gotcha soundbites unfortunately trump details these days.

K_Thomas_Ross Ummm, yeah...c'mon, they've been pulling policy and pronouncements out of their a$$e$ since they hit the first campaign trail. It's been working for them...the A$$hole is still in office thanks to the corrupted GOP, so why change?

Imagine if American mill/billionaires who have a conscience get together and pick a state. Each focus on controlling the media, the message and arrange for people to get to polls. Fight voter suppression! BEAT Trump in FL, MI, MN, AZ, PA, TX, OH, etc. and DitchMitch out of KY.

vp Pence had nothing, absolutely nothing. Couldn't even think on his feet to turn on the usual bullshit and deflection. Pretty pathetic, really.

The entire healthcare community must boycott the gop this year. They r waiting till the 2nd day of the 2nd term of Trump to slash Medicare,Medicaid,Obamacare,and social security. Healthcare workers r paid by these 3 providers.

Yes, Trump and Pence and Barr certainly do!!!!

And you think Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren’s plans (with no idea how they’re going to pay for anything other than raise everyone’s taxes...again) to offer FREE EVERYTHING makes way more sense? Why aren’t you guys pressing THEM with HARD questions rather than softball ones?

Trump administration is lying. They will say anything to get a vote. Vote blue if you want to save the United States

Making things up, sound exactly like the Demos I mean, EXACTLY like the Demos, right nancy?

Sound bites for the election. They got nothing.

Pence and Trump are so far out of touch regarding the everyday struggles of the majority of the population they simply can’t answer the questions posed by the ER doctor.

Now do Nancy Pelosi and the dreamers....

Call the entire trump administration out for every lie. VoteThemAllOut2020

Him and his “team” are all Obama fanboys. Nice gotcha moment.

Never does ABC run a story where a Democrat is confronted. Pence should have told the Doctor that we would cut Doctor's salaries to pay for medicare and medicaid increases.

If they were, nobody would be trying to look and see what's there so much.

I’ll never understand why people vote against their own interests.

They are like a little kid who tells their parents whatever gets them by at the moment. So juvenile and dishonest.

This is how this administration works - they make everything up - any comment they make on any subject - just like Trump - is only to get thru those few moments - if he's going to be proven a liar w/ in the next hour, so be it. Trump has turned GOP from classy to trashy.

Cuts havnt been made.

We have known for years that Trump makes up shit.

iheartwestbrook First thing is to take the fund cutting scalpel out of his miserly little hands. The gop gotta make cuts, as usual, to pay for their tax cuts. gop 1.0

Did you cover the man that confronted ewarren? Just making sure you're not playing sides.

Of course he has no idea. That's the way our government works now a days. Backroom meetings & promises to do pet projects if this one or that one vote for this, that or the other thing. And we are still waiting for the 'EASY' fix to the now extremely expensive Obamacare.

Medicaid patients don't get the latest treatment available as it is. Block grants will not be good for them. When the state runs out of money they will begin to deny coverage to those in need. We need universal h/c. This admin does not care about poor people.

More under hand workings of the Machiavellian Republicans and there leader distroying Medicaide and medicare stealthly, without the public knowing about it! Wake up people!

Looks good on Pence, he didn’t know squat, deflect, deflect, deflect.

Per usual, Pence said nothing of value.

There's a lot of Trump supporters who are going to get slammed by Trumps cuts in Social security and medicaid. This is needed for the next round of tax cuts for himself and the wealthy. Though Trump will lie like usual and say one thing and then stab you in the back.

They don't care about ppl, kids, the elderly, all they care about is themselves! We R living under a dictatorship, look around ppl!

Well yeah? it has been pretty clear for a while that Republicans don't care for American lives

ONLY THE BRAINWASHED DELUSIONAL KOOL-AID DRINKERS WOULD BELIEVE THESE TRAITOROUS RACIST CORRUPT CRIMINAL BETRAYERS WHO PUT A SNAKE OIL CONMAN IN THE PEOPLE'S W. H. SOLD THEIR BASE NOTHING BUT LIES WE THE PEOPLE NOT EASILY FOOLED BUT WE WILL FIGHT TO REMOVE THE CORRUPTION

VP came off not knowing what he was talking about. He's ill informed and is following a cult. He's not even well spoken. What is his reward? Why is he in this? I know follow the dollars, but, my goodness in his last days he may come to rethink his choices.

Same old shit, we always have money for war and we never had money to help people who need it in this country

Dreamers confronted Pelosi and chanted her down with 'Liar'. Show us that footage

They don't care GOD WILL TAKE THE ONES THAT CAN'T MAKE IT ? 🤬 THEY SHOULD ALL BE HORSE WHIPPED FROM TRUMP DOWN !

It was a conversation at best. But VP was ignorant. Kept referring to when he was in Indiana. Blah blah. Didn’t know anything about Medicaid only the best ppl

Mike pence are jews drilling holes in my moms roof because she had two roof leakd in one year.. do they consider me a threat to their race.. cause after wearing bright red my trash has been tipping over in brooklyn?

There’s been no cuts.. the signed a waiver for block grants.. so silly

And Pence looked like a dear in headlights and stammered through the entire encounter. It was really awkward to watch.
