The current health bill the Republicans have been discussing is not a health bill. It is a bill dedicated to reducing the deficit on the backs and shoulders of the most vulnerable of our citizens.
By reducing or eliminating the taxes on the elite who are currently covered by the ACA and who are currently helping foot the bill for Medicaid recipients, the Republicans have made sure that there are no funds to cover these most needy of our citizens with good quality health care, much less any health care.
The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. Get a health-care plan that covers these folks first, then begin to increase the coverage for the others.
