Schumer: ‘TrumpCare Is a Loser for Just About All of America, Unless You’re in the Top 1%’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "TrumpCare is a tax break for the rich, not a health care program. That's the real motivation of so many of our Republican colleagues. It’s to take people whose income is above $250,000 and give them an average tax break, to take the top .01 percent and give them an average tax break of $200,000 while making these people pay more. It's horrible. President Trump has talked about helping working America, but the plan he has embraced, TrumpCare, helps the rich and hurts the average American, and that’s not surprising given all the other things his administration is doing. His administration has developed a pattern. Health care is part of that. They talk like populists but act like those helping wealthy special interests time after time after time. Look, no one likes this bill. Hospitals, doctors, governors, conservatives, liberals, nonpartisan groups and most of all the people who will no longer have affordable health care. So we Democrats are here today to tell our Republican friends, 'Turn back, drop this irresponsible plan, stop this effort to repeal and we’ll work with you to improve the Affordable Care Act, but TrumpCare is a loser for just about all of America, unless you’re in the top 1 percent."
