Ryan sics Capitol Police on disabled protesters fighting Trumpcare

Trumpcare will cut $880 billion from Medicaid in the next decade. It will force states to have to decide whether to provide healthcare to the elderly in nursing homes, to children, or to the disabled. That's exactly what Paul Ryan wanted to happen.

Taking that almost $900 billion out of Medicaid now gives him the chance to give even deeper tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations in the tax legislation he has coming up next.

He says that—loud and clear: "And so yes, it is important that we get this [the health plan] done so that we can do tax reform. Because this bill also takes out about $900 billion in tax increases, the Obamacare tax increases are taken out which makes it $900 billion easier to reform the tax code afterwards ... That’s why this is really important.".....................................

if the catholic church can excom Kerry and I can't remember the other one for supporting choice, why wouldn't you excom the guy who is trying to cause pain, suffering, bankruptcy and death to millions on purpose so the rich can be richer?

I do not expect a reply.
