Update: Here’s the video of their conversation:

Amid all the noise about President Donald Trump and the Russia investigations, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have something else important they want you to pay attention to: Senate Republicans’ quiet push to to pass a health care bill.

The progressive power duo of New England senators is hosting a Facebook Live question and answer session at 3:30 p.m. Monday on Sanders’s well-followed account.

Republicans won’t say what’s in their health care plan, so at 3:30 ET @SenWarren and I will take your questions at https://t.co/TIdQMUk3ML pic.twitter.com/6A5Bcpk75k — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) June 19, 2017

Republicans leaders in the Senate have taken criticism from both parties for the secrecy in which they’ve drafted their bill to supplant the Affordable Care Act. Asked why they hadn’t yet released the privately-drafted bill, a Republican aide told Axios, “We aren’t stupid.” Many House Republicans were the target of mass protests during their chamber’s respective efforts to pass a health care bill.


Republican Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell reportedly wants to push a vote on the bill before the July 4 recess, which means the legislation will likely have to be finalized this week.
