Watched today as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY flat out refused to commit to give the full Senate at least 10 hours to review the details of the secret Republican healthcare bill. Just 10 hours is a ridiculously short amount of time for review and admendment making for a bill that involves over 1/6 of our total budget.

It is clear that McConnell and his brethren  are only intetested in two things. 1) repealing the Affordable Care Act regardless of the health and financial impact on the American public. 2) giving  huge tax breaks to the top 2% at the cost of higher premiums and/or inferior health coverage to the middle and lower classes.

Once again, Republican "trickle down" policy gets shoved down our throats. When, if ever, will the voting public take some time to learn the issues and vote for their own interests? Get dark lobbyist money out of our political system, demand an end to Citizens United.
