Republicans Are Trying To Repeal Obamacare In Secret
Mitch McConnell and company are trying to destroy Obamacare in secret -- and Senate Democrats look like they're going to roll over and let it happen.
They talk an awful lot about "Resistance" - but are Senate Democrats doing enough to stop Republicans from repealing Obamacare?
In a move that is shockingly anti-democratic even for the GOP - Senate Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare in secret.
And I mean literally - in secret.
Right now they are working behind closed doors on a healthcare bill that they want the entire Senate to vote on as soon as July 4.
This bill could cause 23 million people to lose their health insurance - but Republicans are refusing to release it to the public - and they don't plan on holding any hearings.
Why all the secrecy?
Because Republicans know that if the American people actually got a chance to see what's in their healthcare bill - they'd bring out the pitchforks.
As one GOP aide told Axios "We aren't stupid".
Republicans spent 6 years throwing a hissy fit about how Obamacare was passed, and this is how they plan on passing a bill that could force 23 million people to lose their health insurance?
And why aren't Democrats doing more to stop them?
