Never fucking forget that Trumpcare is not about Health Care

Never fucking forget that Trumpcare is not about Health Care but it is all about giving the very rich a tax cut by
taking away medical care and medical coverage from millions of Americans to pay for it.

Christopher Hayes ✔@chrislhayes
The bill cuts about a trillion dollars in funding for healthcare while cutting taxes for the top 2% by about the same amount.

It's a tax cut package wrapped in a thin veneer of "medical coverage" words.

Regardless of what kind of cruel legislation eventually gets passed, the tax cuts for the ruling class will be part of the passed legislation.

better lose their job! My congressman (Rep. Walter "Freedom Fries" Jones) was one of the few who voted against. I'm not sure of his reason, but I will have to say that once in a while, he has a moment of sanity and does the right thing. More so than most of them it seems.
