NBC News confirmed that Rep. Rob Bresnahan sold stock in several Medicaid providers about a week before voting for major Medicaid cuts. The post's underlying fact is solid, but calling it 'insider trading' is a legal stretch — that crime requires trading on material non-public information, and a policy vote a member helps shape isn't automatically that. Bresnahan has since quit active stock trading and shifted to bonds, which observers link to reelection pressure in his swing district.
