Seth Meyers blasted the Senate Republicans’ health care bill that was unveiled Thursday, noting the deep cuts to Medicaid and big tax credits for the wealthy.

“I think we’ll have ample opportunity to read and amend the bill,” McConnell said.
McConnell repeated the same exact answer when Schumer asked him if the time would be more than 10 hours.
“I think we’ll have ample opportunity to read and amend the bill is the longest euphemism I’ve ever heard for go ’[bleep] yourself,” Meyers quipped.
