A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

The proponents of the BBB want to distract the American people away from the biggest details of their proposal.
Those details will result in hospital and skilled nursing facilities closures nationwide, impacting nearly 70 million ppl.
We shine a light on what they want to hide in plain sight.

A rare, powerful moment in politics. Sheldon Whitehouse speaks truth to power about the bill that robs America and sells it out to billionaires. The playbook they don't want us to see.

“War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.”
I grew up watching M*A*S*H. When I decided that I wanted to go into medicine, the only TV doctor I ever wanted to be like was Hawkeye Pierce, and it’s because of this scene.
“War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.”

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
