New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is warning that the Republican ObamaCare replacement plan could have negative consequences for state governments.

“Obviously, the consequences for a state like New York could be devastating, depending on what they do," Cuomo said Tuesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"We have three million people who are insured under ObamaCare. What are you going to do with the three million people? Medicaid is a very big piece of our budget.”

Cuomo also pointed to talk of block grants.

"Turning it over to the state. That sounds great," he said.

"The question is, when they block grant it, do they actually transfer the money? You remember the old expression, passing the buck without passing the bucks.”

Cuomo said he understands the political appeal of repealing ObamaCare.

“But, you know, be careful what you ask for. And a little bit, I think this is the dog that chases the car. What are they going to do? And you have millions and millions of people who are affected,” he said.
