Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Not only did she give her version of the events leading to the firing of the AHS CEO, she also claimed public surgeries cost up to 9X more than charters!
And she plugged ASG, who are at the center of the corrupt care scandal!
