If signed into law, the so-called "healthcare reform" bill that passed the House last week would cause tens of millions of Americans to lose their health insurance - literally kill thousands of people - and leave thousands more in debt.

It would also gut special education.

In communities all across the country, schools depend on Medicaid to help cover the costs of special education programs.

But because the Republican healthcare bill cuts Medicaid, it puts all of those programs at risk.

This is unfortunately not a unique scenario in modern America.

Our social welfare system is woefully inadequate - especially when it comes to childcare and education.

As Republicans in Congress move to gut Obamacare, are we watching the first volleys of the next class war?
