"Republican health bill would widen America’s wealth gap" Well, that's the whole point of the bill. It has nothing to do with healthcare. It's a transparently obvious giveaway to the super-wealthy.

For 8 years, Republicans used opposition to the ACA as an accelerant, like an arsonist with gasoline, in order to rally their base. It was obvious throughout those 8 years, that they had no healthcare ideas of their own, and, now that they have a Republican President and control of both houses of Congress, they're like the dog that caught the car. They had no idea what to do next, so in three weeks they slapped together this mess. What they've come up with is potentially disastrous from the healthcare standpoint, but it achieves a more important Republican goal — widening the wealth gap by further enriching the wealthiest Americans at the expense of everyone else.
