Taking from the poor, giving to the rich. The Republican health care bill will cut funding from middle class Americans’ health care while providing America’s rich with immense tax breaks, claims Robert Reich of the Guardian. The bill’s biggest change to the current system would reduce coverage for the poor, elderly and disabled. These savings would provide a $346bn tax cut over the next decade to those earning over $200,000 a year. It is because of this that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has done everything possible to keep the bill’s details in the shadows until it’s too late to stop or amend it.
