health care ins...It's about tax cuts. To pay for Medicaid expansion and premium subsidies under the ACA taxes on capital gains were increased from 20% to 23.9% and only multimillionaires pay capital gains taxes. Income taxes are 39% but these greedy goobers feel cheated paying this additional 3.
9% increase even though they pay 19% less already. They want their tax cuts back dated to 12/31/16 and want no part in paying for ins for the poor. So Trump care is taking money from the poor and giving it back to their greedy donors who already pay 19% less in taxes. Republicans don't care about health care only tax cuts for the 400 richest families
