What’s the rush?

Chris Hayes asks Republicans why they aren’t bothering to have any hearings on their new Trumpcare bill. It seems like a pretty big deal, in that it’s going to dramatically impact one sixth of the economy, 20-30 million people directly and virtually everyone indirectly, and is a matter of life and death.

They don’t have an answer:

I love the fact that these congressman can’t be bothered to find out how many of their own constituents will be affected by this bill.

But that’s because they don’t care. This is a political game to them, a way to say “gotcha” to their rivals. The fact that humans being will be harmed is not their concern.
