Entry 671: Curing Health Care
After weeks of secretive brainstorming, Senate Republicans have revealed their 142-page Better Care Reconciliation Act, the unawaited sequel to the House Republicans’ American Health Care Act, itself a reboot of the Affordable Care Act. It’s kind of like the Transformers … Continue reading
