The Senate GOP health bill is a cruel and cynical shell game:https://t.co/5eWQjmXEuM

Health insurance lobbyists get briefed on the secret bill before Democratic Senators or the American public. What a sham. https://t.co/Njj4JKoK8J

These Medicaid cuts are insidious. Designed to get bigger every year—so, outside window that CBO scores, they asphyxiate the program. 1/ https://t.co/MNksPzIza0

If you want to know what it looks like when the super rich devour a country, you need only look to the United States in 2017.

Crucial insight from @JoyAnnReid: The Republican base LOVES big government, but only for themselves.

Worth repeating this is unprecedented. A major party advancing legislation to vastly increase the # of uninsured without any public input.

At the end of the day, Trumpcare is a brutal attack on the very voters that put Trump in the White House https://t.co/KqwIQprCLG

And I refuse to forget who is bringing this abomination to us, who set it in motion: "pro-life" white U.S. Christians:

4 in 5 white evangelicals, 3 in 5 white Catholics and Mormons — "pro-life" voters — brought us the Trump nightmare.

I will not forget.

Are the Catholic bishops planning to find ways to provide access to healthcare to the 25 million folks who will now lose healthcare coverage — due to the very direct (lack of) moral leadership of the U.S. Catholic bishops?
