Republicans to Reveal Secret Healthcare Bill on Thursday

HeadlineJun 21, 2017

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans will release a draft of the healthcare bill on Thursday morning, as Republicans face widespread outrage for negotiating the bill in secret, closed-door meetings. The Republicans’ House bill would strip 23 million people of their health insurance, while giving billions of dollars in tax breaks to wealthy Americans. They are pushing for a vote on the bill before the July 4 recess. We’ll have more on the Republican healthcare plan later in the broadcast.
