<\/p>\nObama Blasts \u2018Fundamental Meanness\u2019 at Core of Senate GOP Health Care Bill<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
President Obama has lashed out at Senate Republican efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, blasting the\u00a0\u201cfundamental meanness at the core\u201d of their health care bill.<\/p>\n
Wrote Obama on Facebook:<\/p>\n
The Senate bill, unveiled today, is not a health care bill. It\u2019s a massive transfer of wealth from middle-class and poor families to the richest people in America. It hands enormous tax cuts to the rich and to the drug and insurance industries, paid for by cutting health care for everybody else. Those with private insurance will experience higher premiums and higher deductibles, with lower tax credits to help working families cover the costs, even as their plans might no longer cover pregnancy, mental health care, or expensive prescriptions. Discrimination based on pre-existing conditions could become the norm again. Millions of families will lose coverage entirely.<\/p>\n
Simply put, if there\u2019s a chance you might get sick, get old, or start a family \u2013 this bill will do you harm. And small tweaks over the course of the next couple<\/a> weeks, under the guise of making these bills easier to stomach, cannot change the fundamental meanness at the core of this legislation.<\/p>\n Read Obama\u2019 full post below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Obama Blasts \u2018Fundamental Meanness\u2019 at Core of Senate GOP Health Care Bill<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
