the regular process to rush the votes on Trumpcare -- because the more the American public sees it, the more they realize they have been misled. The public is learning that Trumpcare eliminates affordable care for millions of Americans while giving the wealthiest households and Insurance Companies a HUGE tax cut. The total tax cut of $600 billion will provide windfalls to the billionaires and millionaires in the Trump Cabinet. In fact, millionaires will get an average tax cut of $50,000 and the top one-tenth of one percent wealthiest households get an average break of $200,000. Unbelievably, the Trumpcare plan also gives a tax cut for the multi-million bonuses Insurance Companies pay to their CEOs! At the same time, millions of Americans will lose their coverage, and millions more will pay a lot more for a lot less. The fake populism of Donald Trump is being exposed by the minute.'

This 'healthcare' bill is a sick joke. Have they no shame??
