Thom lays out the dirty republican strategy of BIG LIES on their healthcare plan and on the ACA (Obamacare). Their plan WON’T cover more people, WON’T lower deductibles, WON’T increase choices or quality of care, but WILL provide a HUGE tax cut for billionaires. Is the corporate media telling you this?
In a vote of 217-213, House Republicans have officially voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and replace it with a plan that would strip millions of Americans of their health insurance coverage and give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. To a normal person, this would be troubling; however, for a misanthropic, fascistic, extremist political party, it’s cause for celebration—and they did just that! Republicans reportedly ordered “cases upon cases” of Bud Light to celebrate their victory. Stay classy, a$$holes.
Seth takes a closer look at the House Republicans rushing a bill, that will strip health insurance from millions of Americans, without knowing what’s in it.
