Claire McCaskill on Trump’s Tax Bill: There Will Be Millions and Millions of People That Will Lose Their Health Care Coverage

‘That’s not what Americans want’

EXCERPT:

MCCASKILL: “A lot of folks don't know what the bond market means. The bond market is pretty simple. It means people don't want to buy our -- don't want to loan us money anymore. When you buy a U.S. Treasury, you're loaning the United States government money. When we have to pay higher interest to get people to do that, that means they no longer see it as a safe bet. And -- and that's the problem with this deficit inducing, hurting poor people bill is that it doesn't help the deficit and causes a lot of pain to folks. There will be millions and millions of people that will lose their healthcare coverage in this bill. And that's not what Americans want.”
