Let me direct you to the following quotation from the linked Washington Post article:

> To offset the bill’s cost, Republicans proposed steep cuts to Medicaid, the state
> and federal health insurance program for low-income individuals and disabled people;
> and SNAP, the anti-hunger Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known
> as food stamps.

Think about that for a moment. The Republican Party‘s best idea to offset the costs
of this monstrosity of a bill is to directly hurt the most vulnerable in American
society by impacting their ability to access healthcare and food. For most people
I have come to know all over this planet, doing something like this would be a hard
no.

Republican voters, this is not what you voted for, is it? You have more compassion
and care for your neighbors than this, right?
