Rep. Kennedy Speaks Out Against the Big Ugly Bill

Published | Video Starts at 00:29

I know exactly what it means to cut a trillion dollars from Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care act, which is exactly what this big, ugly bill does. Taking away health care for 17 million Americans won't make us any healthier. Stealing food away from the neediest children, seniors and veterans won't make us any stronger.
