Earl Blumenauer said "It has come to this: considering hopelessly flawed legislation that the Republicans have had 7 years to prepare for and still couldn't do it right. It may still pass, but it is never going to be enacted because most people are figuring it out. They don't like it and they are being heard. That is why this bill has been stalled and the Republicans have been forced to twist the legislation in this fashion. But the bottom line remains: TrumpCare will cost more for people who need it the most. It will hurt older and lower-income people in order to create tax cuts for people who need them the least. TrumpCare will destabilize health insurance and will slowly but surely destroy Medicaid. It didn't have to be that way, but as long as people continue speaking out and fighting back with us, it won't be in the future, and we can have a new era in health care and in politics. With their help, it will be." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
