"If you live in a state that wants to mandate maternity coverage for everybody, including 60-year-old women, that’s fine," he said.
Co-host Alex Wagner asked Mulvaney about people who do not live in a state that requires maternity coverage.
"Then you can figure out a way to change the state that you live in," Mulvaney replied.
Wagner asked if Mulvaney meant that people should move.
"No, they can try to change their own state legislatures and their state laws," he responded. "Why do we look to the federal government to try and fix our local problems?"
