Hakeem Jeffries: The One Big Ugly Bill Hurts Everyday Americans and Rewards Billionaires
RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: "One big ugly bill hurts everyday Americans and rewards billionaires. It’s the largest attack on health care in American history. More than 17 million people will lose their health care as a result of this one big, ugly bill. It will end effectively Medicaid as we know it. Hospitals will close. Nursing homes will shut down. Community based health clinics won’t be able to operate. And as a result of the fact that so many people will not be able to get access to health care, folks are going to die all across the United States of America. And for those who have private insurance premiums, co-pays and deductibles are likely to go up for millions of Americans. But it also represents the largest cut to supplemental nutritional assistance in American history. Republicans are literally ripping food out of the mouths of hungry children, veterans and seniors. And all of this reverend sharpton, is being done so that Republicans can award billionaires massive tax breaks as part of an effort to jam their extreme trickle down economic theory down the throats of the American people and explode the debt by more than $3 trillion."
