DNC Chair Perez: Senate Bill Is Not a Healthcare Bill, It’s a Massive Tax Cut for Wealthy People

EXCERPT:

PEREZ: “Here is my North Star and I think this should be the North Star for this bill, and this is what Senator Schumer was effectively saying, are we helping the average American family get access to affordable healthcare and quality healthcare? If we're doing that, then we're moving forward. The problem with the Senate bill is it's not a healthcare bill. It's a massive tax cut for wealthy people. The Affordable Care Act has been a life saver for millions and as you correctly point out it is far from perfect. Our north star moving forward should be how do we make life better for people.”
