Today, Democrats are holding the floor on the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid being signed into law to talk about the Republican all-out assault on our healthcare system. Look, the American people are just fed up--fed up, up to here--with the soaring costs of healthcare. They are fed up with Donald Trump and Republicans cutting their healthcare to help the billionaire class. But, unfortunately, Donald Trump and Republicans seem to live in a bubble because while they brag about how big and beautiful their bill is, the American people feel the opposite. The more Americans learn about the Republican bill, the more they are realizing that Donald Trump and Republicans sold them a raw deal--a raw deal. The Republicans' 'Big Ugly Betrayal' is one of the most devastating bills for American healthcare that we have ever seen. The largest cut to Medicaid in American history, $1 trillion in healthcare cuts, 15 million people at risk of losing their healthcare coverage--why?…
