Simone got it right....this is a legislative maneuver designed  to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Trump needed it passed before Tax Reform efforts....it provides the funds "saved" by cutting  health care to further enrich the rich, with unneeded  tax cuts. This is "blood money".

Simone:
"The passage of the American Health Care Act in the House is a dangerous and irresponsible step that threatens access to health care for at least 24 million Americans. It violates Christian and Catholic faith teaching and the values of our nation," said Sr. Simone Campbell, a Sister of Social Service who is executive director of Network, a Catholic social justice lobby, in a May 4 statement.

"This was not the faithful way forward," she added. "We are hurting our people and rewarding the rich through tax breaks disguised as a health care reform bill. This is literal 'blood money.' The blood of those who are denied coverage will be on the hands of those who voted for this bill."
