Statehouse Democrats are calling on Indiana’s congressional delegation to defend former Gov. Mike Pence’s expansion of the state’s Medicaid program from proposed GOP cuts backed by President Donald Trump.

But the Congressional Budget Office predicts the introduced American Health Care Act would lead to Medicaid cuts. Indiana House Democrats say the proposal could cause “dire” results in Indiana.
