Dem Rep. Brendan Boyle: “Republicans just voted for the largest cuts to health care in American history — cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. At least 13.7 million will now lose their health care as a result. And why? To pay for tax cuts for billionaires and special interests.”
