John Oliver Savages Trump Health Plan: ‘People Are Going To Be Hurt By This Bill’
HBO’s John Oliver spent time savaging the Republican Obamacare repeal and replacement plan on Sunday.
Oliver point out that Trumpcare will hurt Trump’s supporters the most.
“Essentially it seems people on both sides see AHCA as just being sh*tty ObamaCare,” Oliver said after showing multiple clips of saying the bill is “dead on arrival.”
“People are going to be hurt by this bill,” Oliver said.
“This plan is literally taking taking money from the poor and giving it to the very rich,” Oliver also said.
“The bottom line is a lot of the things Trump promised on the campaign trail are not in the bill because the AHCA is being presented as a budget bill, which can simply be passed by a Senate majority. Anything that’s a non-budget policy change needs 60 votes to beat a filibuster,” Oliver continued.
“This bill is in all likelihood all Trump can get passed to replace Obamacare,” he added, “so it is f—ing important everyone understands what is in it.”
