YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Ben Cardin (D-MD) join with the Doctors for America, Little Lobbyists, and Center for American Progress to discuss just how devastating the GOP tax plan would be for middle-class Americans. The Senators say Republicans are negotiating the final details of a bill that would hurt millions of Americans and wreak havoc on health care markets across the country. By repealing the individual mandate, the GOP plan would leave 13 million people without health insurance and increase premiums. The bill would also result in Medicare and Medicaid cuts down the road that would be devastating for vulnerable patients, like children with complex medical needs, the elderly, and the poor. The Democrats say this disastrous bill will hurt those who can least afford it, all to give massive tax breaks to the top 1 percent.
