Chris Hayes had former Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services administrator Andrew Slavitt on tonight June 16th, 2017, who explained the trick that republican U.S. senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is most likely going to pull, which explains why only 13 republicans know what is going on with the secretive republican “Healthcare” Bill.
First, here is what the House version will cost every American, A disaster.
These are the facts:

Here is a video clip out today of AlI In with Chris Hayes showing Mitch McConnell during the long drawn out struggle to get PPACA (Obmamacare) passed. Unfortunately the most illuminating and devastating part of the All In program with Andrew Slavitt explaining how the fast track/rule 14 trick works is not available on line.

A small group of Senate Republicans won't show the secret health care bill to Democrats, the public, or even many Republicans. And they can't even explain what it's supposed to do.
Chris Hayes last words describing Mitch McConnell’s trickery: “almost unbelievably devious”.. just before he introduces Andrew Slavitt.
Here is a tweet by the former Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services administrator Andrew Slavitt. This is what Andrew Slavitt was explaining tonight. McConnell’s trick:
Iow’s, As senator Bernie Sanders tweeted days ago showing a blank piece of paper as the republican Trumpcare. This, in part, helps to explain the republican secrecy. The Bill that will be debated as required is a fraud. The actual Bill won’t be submitted until the last moment, in the form of a substitute amendment according to Andy Slavitt.
Mitch McConnell and a few republican senators, can waste the required 20 hrs having debates over a bill that Mitch McConnell will then propose an amendment to that will zero out what has been debated, substituting that Bill at the last minute with a Bill of his choosing.
It’s not just the lie that Obamacare is “collapsing” as every republican politician has been spreading to cover their malfeasance. It is as Chris Hayes named it: “almost unbelievably devious”
Andrew Slavitt:
