What Republicans Are Trying to Do Is a Disgrace

hat Republicans are trying to do is a disgrace. Just weeks after their disastrous attempt to throw 24 million people off of health care, they are once again trying to force through a repeal of Obamacare. To be very clear. The wrong thing to do is to force through health care reform that would hurt the poor, the sick and the elderly. The wrong thing to do is to play politics with people’s lives. The right thing to do is to guarantee health care to all people as a right like every other major country on Earth. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to create a Medicare-for-all, single payer system because that is what the American people deserved—not the half-baked mess Republicans are trying to pass.
