After weeks of secrecy surrounding the Senate GOP's healthcare bill, a draft was finally released Thursday. As predicted, it makes cuts to Medicaid, gets rid of essential health benefits, and eliminates the mandate that every American have health insurance.
On Thursday's Late Night, host Seth Meyers drew parallels between President Donald Trump's Wednesday speech in Iowa -- in which he said he didn't want a "poor person" working on the economy in his cabinet -- and the GOP healthcare bill.
"That truly seems to be the operating ethos of the Trump era: A president who campaigned on populist rhetoric, but whose policy would cause needless suffering for low- and middle-income people. And there's no better example of that than Trumpcare."
