"The only people in America whose health care isn't about to get much worse are billionaires" [View all]

The hospitals that remain open will have to cut staff due to lower revenue — even as their ERs are flooded with newly uninsured patients who have nowhere else to go. That means if you get hit by a car, you’ll likely have to go to a hospital further away and wait longer to see a doctor. All thanks to Republicans.

The only people in America whose health care isn’t about to get much worse are billionaires, who can hop into their private helicopters to see their private doctors.

Democrats are demanding that Republicans back off their draconian health care cuts. That’s what the just-concluded government shutdown was all about — Democrats refusing to vote for a budget that doesn’t fix the coming health care apocalypse.

Some Democrats thought that Republicans would come to the negotiating table and figure out a health care fix, if only out of political self-interest. But Republicans are ideologically committed to destroying health care at the behest of their billionaire donors.
