Is Putin behind the Obamacare repeal? Check Egoberto Willies for more...
Chris Hayes said what a few progressives have been saying for months now: the Russia story is distracting from issues that are more immediately impactful to middle-class America.
“I think there is a case to be made that Russia right now is helping the Senate pass a health care bill," Hayes said. "They would rather do this in secret with no public scrutiny, with no coverage. Which is what they are doing. And try to flip out a bill in 48 hours and vote on it. And that actually, you say they don't want to be talking about it [Russia]. They would rather talk about this than the health care bill." http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/11/1669892/-Obamacare-is-in-danger-of-paving-the-path-for-Trumpcare#read-more

1. The Republicans have been salivating about this since the law was passed. We don't have to look
to Putin. We don't have to look farther than Paul Ryan and Ayn Rand.

2. yup
Trump is still there because of putin and comey and not because people were not aware of where people stood on health care.
Anyone Who didn't vote for Clinton did not have health care for all as a top concern. |
