This is the Tom Hartman Program.

Welcome to the Tom Hartman Program.

I'm Alex Lawson filling in for Tom.

It is Monday. It's not Groundhog's Day, but it is Groundhog's Day all over again here in Washington, D.C.

as the Republicans decide that again, it is time to try to ram Trump care down the throats of the American

people who have soundly rejected it.

They are going to try again to destroy Medicaid, to raid Medicare, to

throw tens of millions of people off of their health insurance, increase the premiums and costs to

unaffordable levels from where they currently rested nearly to

unaffordable levels, up to extremely unaffordable, especially for older

Americans, for Americans with serious health problems.

It's just they're returning back to this drive to just steal our money in our

health, just reach into our pockets and steal our money, to steal our health care, and to push millions of people into an early grave because I guess

that's just how Republicans like to get down. They're going to call it they have all these fancy names for it and they have all these lies and

propaganda about how this time it's different, don't fall for it.

It is Trump Care, it is immoral, it is a disaster,

and it needs to be resisted,

and just like we beat it last time we're going to beat it again this time

but you're going to have to get to the phones you're gonna have to call the

switchboard 202 224 3121.

Call your senators, tell them that you are watching.

The strategy here that they're bringing into play is so obvious.
