Repug Dumped Stock Before Voting For $1 Trillion Cuts

A freshman member of Congress dumped up to $130,000 worth of stock in providers that serve Medicaid beneficiaries in the week before voting for President Donald Trump's tax cut megabill that slashed over $1 trillion from the public health program, NBC News reported on Thursday. According to the report, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), who has rapidly become one of the most frequent stock traders on Capitol Hill, "offloaded up to $130,000 worth of stock in Centene, Elevance Health, UnitedHealth and CVS Health on May 15, the periodic transaction reports he filed with the House clerk in June show. Taken together, those four companies oversee roughly half of all Medicaid managed care organizations, according to KFF, a health policy research organization."

The GOP is a three legged stool of:

1. How much in bribes can they collect from foreign nations and businesses.

2. How much in tax money they can steal for themselves.

3. How much can they profit personally off of "serving the public".

"According to the report, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), who has rapidly become one of the most frequent stock traders on Capitol Hill."

I wonder if they teach insider trading in the same Intro to Congress class where newcomers learn they'll be tied to a phone eight hours a day fundraising for their next campaign.
