Workers, activists stage protest against Trumpcare

Clayton, MO – A group of workers and activists called for U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) to vote against the proposed Trumpcare plan at a rally June 28 at Blunt’s St. Louis office here. Dave Meinell (right), president of the Missouri Alliance for Retired Americans, and other activists staged a “die-in” to represent those who will die when about 22 million people lose their health insurance if Trumpcare is approved. The proposal also calls for huge tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations — as well as devastating healthcare cuts for the poor, including the destruction of Medicaid. – Kevin Madden photo
