Republicans will cut Medicaid so that the Rich can get a Tax Cut

Nevermind about Flint ever having clean drinking water again.

Health insurance for poor people is optional and the GOP opts, "no."

And we don't need no stinking domestic agenda.

Tax Cuts!

For Billionaires!

That's the Republican priority.

This little snippet at Morning Joe can't go by unheard. Panelist Steve Rattner is pointing out just how regressive AHCA is when he notes that at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting this weekend, multi billionaire Warren Buffett told those gathered that AHCA would give him, personally, a 17% tax cut overall. Not 17% less than he would have under Obamacare. A 17% tax CUT on his current taxes.

And Republicans will do this in large part by making cuts to Medicaid spending.
