Schumer: The Senate GOP Bill Is a ‘Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’

‘It’s clear that Republicans know that cutting Medicaid will hurt so many people in the middle class, so many in my home state of New York’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "The President said the House bill was mean. The Senate bill may be meaner. The Senate Republican health care bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, only this wolf has even sharper teeth than the House bill. It’s clear that Republicans know that cutting Medicaid will hurt so many people in the middle class, so many in my home state of New York. Republicans know that people want essential health benefits. So they’ve created a disguise by saying these changes won’t occur for a year. But in reality, the Senate Republican bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, only this wolf has even sharper teeth than the House bill. We’re potentially voting on it in a week. No committee hearings, no amendments in committee, no debate on the floor save for ten measly hours on one of the most important bills we’re dealing with in decades. That brings shame on this body."
