By a May 4 roll call vote, 217 United States representatives, including all U.S. representatives from Utah, voted to take health care away from 23 million people.
It was called the American Health Care Act. I call it the roll of shame.
Now, a small group of senators, including Orrin Hatch, are writing in secret. They plan to fast track a bill that will be about the same as the House bill. They expect a Congressional Budget Office score by June 26. Then they hope to pass it by June 30, before people realize how bad it is.
It will not be a health care bill. It will be a tax cut for billionaires. What senator wants to add their name to the roll of shame? Vote these cruel, irresponsible politicians out of office.
