On Sunday’s edition of Meet the Press, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) called for sweeping reform of the Medicaid program, citing stark disparities in enrollment versus poverty levels. “We are cutting the waste, fraud and abuse, and I want to use the word abuse,” Mullin said. “There’s 35 million people that live under the poverty line inside the United States, yet 70 million on Medicaid — it is unsustainable.”
