Senate Dems <3 Vacation More Than You Need Health Care

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


If you are uninsured and were hoping to see action on health care sooner rather than later, you should know that your needs aren’t nearly as important as senators’ need for vacation and Republicans’ pleas that, after 60 years, what they really need is more time to think about whether or not we should have a country where everyone has access to affordable health care.

So yeah, no health care until September. If ever.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
