Summary
In this episode, we’ll discuss the aftermath of the Republican Party’s ‘American Health Care Act’ (aka “Trumpcare”) failure. The bill collapsed after more Senate Republicans announced their opposition to the bill. It lead to intra-party conflict, and a demoralized, angry Trump. We’ll also talk about how Bernie Sanders is capitalizing on this situation, and how single-payer got both a new friend and enemy this week in Al Gore and President Trump, respectively. We’ll also talk about the Democratic Party’s “donor primary” as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to bring back one of the least popular policies in the country: civil asset forfeiture. Finally, we’ll bring you an exclusive announcement from last week about how Amy Vilela, a pro-Medicare for All 2018 candidate is challenging Rep. Ruben Kihuen after he refused to support single-payer healthcare. These topics and more are discussed in this episode. Enjoy!
