Re: “The health of nations”

This analysis is spot on. We all want to live in a great country. Taking away federal funding for Medi-Cal, the single largest insurer in the state, and transferring that financial burden on to the state will result in cuts in services for the poor, women, children, the elderly, the mentally ill and those with substance addictions. It will actually result in suffering and death for many of our fellow citizens. And why? To give huge tax reductions to the few at the top who don't need them. Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for even considering such a plan, let alone meeting in secret and trying to ram it through without thorough consideration, hearings and debate. This is not how a great country makes important decisions. A great country does not treat it's citizens with such callous and mean spirited contempt and neglect.
