Roland Martin: ‘Whether You Are White and Broke, Black and Broke’ You Should Be ‘Scared to Death’ of AHCA

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” TV One’s “New One Now” host Roland Martin said “broke” people regardless of race “should be scared to death of this bill.”

Partial transcript as follows:

MARTIN: Sara, please, tell somebody with a pre-existing condition to take a breath when they’re fighting for their last breath. No, no, no, no, no.

FAGEN: This does not get rid of —

MARTIN: And when you say — when you say leave it —

FAGEN: This does not get people with preexisting conditions and put them in the dark.

MARTIN: When you say leave it up to the states, we saw what happened when the states did not expand Medicaid. We saw the rural hospitals shut down in North Carolina, in Louisiana, in Mississippi. And I’m telling you right now, whether you are white and broke, black and broke, you live in rural America, you should be scared to death of this bill.
