Former Vice President Joe Biden sent out a flurry of tweets Friday evening condemning the Senate’s healthcare draft bill, saying it is “all for tax breaks for the wealthy.”
“The Senate health bill isn’t about health care at all — it’s a wealth transfer: Slashes care to fund tax cuts for wealthy & corporations,” Biden tweeted.

The former vice president then brought up the opioid addiction epidemic that is sweeping the nation, saying the draft bill hurts all those struggling with addiction with its cuts to Medicaid.
“Let’s see a bill that actually tries to improve folks’ health care, and then we can have a responsible debate about how to best do that,” Biden wrote in his last tweet of the thread.
Biden’s former boss, former President Barack Obama, also condemned the GOP legislation, saying on Thursday that it is “not a healthcare bill.”
