A few weeks ago, the Trump administration withdrew their "healthcare bill" from congress because they knew they wouldn't have the votes. Today, they somehow had enough votes to pass the "bill" to debate. How does that happen? Also, the "bill" hasn't been seen by anyone. What exactly did they vote on then? If Congress can just vote on things, with no data, then I suggest we vote that I win the lottery. If it's this easy to possibly pass a bill that will revoke care from millions of people, then winning the lottery should be a walk in the park for these lawmakers.
What's even more puzzling is that John McCain, who was being lauded as an American Hero after he left treatment for brain cancer, to make his way to Washington for the session, voted in favor of this truly mean (in the words of the President) "bill." McCain is being treated for cancer. How does he deem himself worthy of this treatment, when he won't extend access to this level of care to a good portion of the country? He had no office to win, and nothing to lose. And yet, he completely disregarded the sentiments of his constituents to pander to the GOP. It's disgusting.
This current administration, and the GOP lawmakers are willing to risk the lives of millions to pass their own agenda, because the previous bill was passed by a President on the other side of the aisle. Where is the compassion for their constituents? Where is the loyalty to their country? And most of all where is the common sense of the government?
