There’s a lot going on today. But you need to know the scheme McConnell has been cooking up:

McConnell is pushing a “skinny repeal” and claiming he just wants to get a health care bill to a conference w/the House.

BUT #SkinnyRepeal is still rotten: -Premiums will rise rapidly—20% next yr. -Few or no affordable plans available -16 million more uninsured

In Maryland alone, the #SkinnyRepeal would leave 200,000+ uninsured w/an annual premium increase of $700+.

But don’t be fooled—House Republicans could pass this bad bill right away and it could go directly to the President’s desk.

In fact, McCarthy is telling members to stick around so they can act before August!

And even if we do go to a House-Senate conference—like McConnell wants—they would once again be protecting the wealthy behind closed doors.

McConnell & Ryan would then present this WealthCare bill to Congress for final votes in September, with limited debate and NO amendments.
