CONGRESS - Killing Healthcare for the Middle Class


Today Republican "leaders" are supposed to unveil their secret health plan.... frankly, it's quite clear CONGRESS could care less about the PEOPLE...it's all about the PARTY! Screw the rest of America.......the REPUBLICAN plan is to take away healthcare and use the proceeds to pay the for tax breaks for the rich.

CONGRESS wants to make sure they've taken away enough money from the middle class healthcare needs in order to fund TAX BREAKS for the 1% ...screw the rest of us...Thanks, America...you're really making only SOME OF US Great (and FAT) Again..... don't believe me...here, straight from this morning's Wall St. Jounal:

(WSJ 6/22/17)  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to release draft legislation this morning; many lawmakers said they hadn’t seen the bill’s text as of Wednesday afternoon.

Lawmakers at the two ends of the GOP spectrum are also increasingly joining Democrats in criticizing the lack of transparency and rapid-fire timeline for a vote.

WSJ 6-22-17  At least half a dozen Senate Republicans took a stand Wednesday against party leaders’ plan for a quick vote on the health-care overhaul, damping hopes for passage next week.

The opposition is coming both from conservative Republican senators, who believe the proposal doesn’t repeal enough of the Affordable Care Act, as well as GOP centrists, who are upset by deep cuts to Medicaid that would leave more people uninsured.
