On the recordMarch 22, 2017
Tomorrow House Republicans will perpetrate a careless financial assault on good, hardworking America in exchange for a massive payoff to greedy insurance executives and their cronies. Yes, this vote is rigged against the good. If you are 50 to 64 years old, you and your family get clobbered. More doughnut holes, more premiums, and less health care. UnitedHealthcare, one of America's largest private insurers, is today under investigation for defrauding the Medicare program of billions of dollars. Your bill, in 17 words on page 67, rewards UnitedHealthcare, their executives and cronies, with a massive tax cut. UnitedHealthcare made $83 billion last year, and their CEO was compensated with $66 million. They don't need a break. Hardworking America does. Your bill also allows UnitedHealthcare to charge five times more for older Americans, and imposes a 30 percent unemployment tax on the unemployed, all going to more profits for them and less health care for America. ____________________
