Republican Leadership's Contempt is Boundless

It appears that the Senate Republicans, under the leadership of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), have come up with a new meaning for the word, "contempt"... as in "we deserve better-than-those-everyday-Americans."

In Sen. McConnell's newest Trumpcare version, members of Congress and their staff will be exempt from "waivers for certain ObamaCare provisions, such as a ban on insurers charging premiums based on a customer's health and the requirement that insurers' basic health plans cover certain services, like prescription drugs and mental health."

"The GOP amendment exempts members of Congress and their staffs to ensure that they will still be protected by those ObamaCare provisions." *

My, my, my. In case you needed proof... well then, here it is... the Republican leadership's contempt for everyday Americans knows no limit.
