Bernie Sanders Becomes Mitch McConnell's Worst Nightmare As Healthcare Hangs In The Balance

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) zeroed in on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and became his worst nightmare by explaining how McConnell's own bill will gut health care in his home state of Kentucky.

Excerpt:

Mitch McConnell wrote the health care bill in secret and tried to rush it through the Senate before the 4th of July recess because he didn’t want his constituents in Kentucky and Americans all across the country to know what was in the health care bill. McConnell tried to sneak a bill that will take coverage away from 22 million people while making people who still have coverage pay more for less behind the backs of those who are paying his salary.

The worst thing that can happen to Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans is for Bernie Sanders and the Democrats to roll into their backyards and explain what this bill does.

Mitch McConnell tried to pass a secret health care bill, but now he’s got Bernie Sanders arriving in Kentucky and screaming at the top his lungs about this legislation. When Bernie Sanders arrives in the Bluegrass State on Sunday, he will be McConnell’s worst nightmare.
