Our representatives who only care about the rich and influential passed what they call a repeal and replacement for the ACA. Why? Because according to all those who have drunk the Kool-Aid, the ACA is failing. "Our plan will succeed." Yet they can't tell you what's in the bill, because none of them read the bill, all three pages, ha ha.
Just so a handful of billionaires can keep more of their money.
They say that Medicaid will not be cut. Then who is going to pay for the $880 billion they plan on cutting from Medicaid? How are the seniors going to afford their prescriptions, when you also have cuts to Medicare funding.
To all of those in Congress who voted for this diabolical plan, which will reduce the number of people who can afford health care: Enjoy your health care, because you will probably be looking for new employment come 2018. But unfortunately for us who have to endure the one-sided politics in this state, we will continue to be ruled by a bunch narrow-minded buffoons who only care about one thing — money — not morals or people. Nice Christian attitude, Reps. Stewart, Chaffetz, Love and Bishop.
