Lou Barletta’s concern that immigrants who entered the country illegally might receive tax subsidies for their health insurance outweighs his concern for the rest of us?

He is so focused on immigration that the loss of health care for 24 million Americans is secondary? What will he tell his constituents on Medicaid? That their health concerns come in a distant second in his hierarchy of things that matter?

What about his constituents who are in their 50s and early 60s who will now be paying more for their coverage under Trump Care? What about the promise that Obamacare would be replaced by something really great and beautiful and that everyone would be covered?

Your headline should have read, “Lou Barletta buckles to the will of Trump.”
