YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump and top Republican lawmakers are continuing their push to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act under extreme secrecy, and some senators say they have no idea what the new version of Trumpcare will include. It is "essentially a tax cut wrapped in the veneer of a healthcare bill," argues our guest, Rep. Keith Ellison, Minnesota Democratic congressmember and cochair of the House Progressive Caucus. He’s the first Muslim member of Congress. "Call your senator. Get involved, because this thing is probably going to go quick once it starts."
