Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill may have votes [View all]

[Nasty Jack]

That's what Sen. Elizabeth Warren says, adding, what the republicans "pulled out of the trash" is the worst of all their healthcare legislation. Here are some reasons:

• It guts funding for Medicaid – so if you need a nursing home or your baby is born with complex medical needs, you’re on your own.

• It rolls back protections for people with pre-existing conditions – so if you have a heart attack or get a cancer diagnosis, too bad.

• And it completely eliminates help for families to buy health insurance – so if you can’t afford health insurance, good luck out there.

The Senate dufus, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said they would be back and they are in the likes of Lindsey Graham along with Bill Cassidy of Louisiana to try another end run on Obamacare. They claim 48 or 49 votes for a needed 50, with John McCain in the wings again.

Sen. Warren reminds us of the efforts put forth seven weeks ago and is enlisting our help once again suggesting we call friends and family plus broadcasting your support for the Affordable Care Act all over social media, do whatever you can to influence any Senate Republican vote, and participate in organizational events where you can get the word out. This should be the last hurrah but I wouldn't trust Mitch McConnell...well, I just wouldn't trust him with anything.
