TRUMP CARE
Repeal of
the Affordable Health Care Act has been the mantra of the Republican Party for
eight years. Now the priorities of the
Republican Party are on full display in the Trump Care replacement passed in
the House and being modified in the Senate.
The Bottom
line is that eight hundred billion dollars
($800,000.000,000) will be cut from Medicare and subsidy programs in order to
give a six hundred billion dollars
tax cut to 1% of the wealthiest people in this country.
This is the
Trickle Down Economics that has been the goal, along with doing away with
Social Security and Medicare, of the Republican Party since the election of
Ronald Reagan.
Another
outcome of this bill will be the cutting of regulations on the health industry,
giving a big win to pharmaceutical companies and health insurance
companies. Who really believes that deregulating
the health industry will have companies siding with the sick over profits?
Twenty
million people will lose their health coverage on Trump Care, and millions of
these people will die early as the results.
Whenever
Republican politicians are confronted with this fact they always fall back on
justifying the cuts as controlling government spending and the booming
deficit.
How much
money is a life worth to a Republican?
It seems they are able to place a dollar amount on life and pass the
savings on to the rich.
Don't forget that they smile like slimey used car salesmen while pushing this crap.
