Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) says Republicans are n’t actually cutting anyone’s federal health or food benefits in the tax bill.

The GOP tax bill slashes $1 trillion from Medicaid and food assistance programs.

The bill would kick an estimated 8 million people off of health insurance, and an estimated 1.5 million families would lose all food assistance.
