"I am concerned about Leader [Mitch] McConnell's comments to apparently some of my Republican colleagues — 'Don't worry about some of the Medicaid reforms, those are scheduled so far in the future they'll never take effect,'" Johnson told the Green Bay Press-Gazette in remarks that were first published on Friday.

The Senate GOP bill dramatically reforms and scales back Medicaid funding — a move that is drawing pushback from several key swing votes. But, according to The Washington Post, McConnell is privately telling undecided moderates that some of the deepest cuts to the program will never happen.

Johnson stressed he has to "confirm" McConnell's comments, but if that is the Kentucky Republican's pitch it would be a "pretty significant breach of trust" with many conservatives supporting the bill because it includes entitlement reform.

"I think those comments are going to really put the motion to proceed in jeopardy, whether it's on my part or others," he said.

Johnson initially said last week that he would vote to proceed to the bill. But according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, he is now undecided on the vote because of the Medicaid fight.

A spokesman for Johnson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Wisconsin Republican — who was largely written off by GOP leadership during last year's election — was one of four conservative senators who came out against the initial draft of the repeal bill. He previously warned that he would vote against the motion to proceed if it occurred before the July recess.

Medicaid has emerged as a key sticking point for Republicans as they try to get 50 GOP senators to support their repeal and replace bill.
