Graham-Cassidy-Heller ACA Repeal Summary:
❌Estimated 32 million will lose coverage within 10 years (not yet scored)
❌Ends Medicaid expansion. Health care for 11 million low-income adults; increases total loss of coverage to over 32 million Americans
❌Ends all subsidies for the exchange, replaced by a smaller and declining "block grant"
❌Block grant doesn't have to be spent on same population
❌Cuts coverage for low income seniors, children and people with disabilities by 7% by 2026 with a "per capita cap" (A block grant AND a lee capita cap)
❌Ends Federal protections on pre-existing conditions, life time cpas and essential benefits. 50% of states expected to do so
❌Ends all cost sharing payments to low income Americans
❌Ends all funding for coverage by 2026; cuts $250 billion between now and 2026
❌Average state cut of 17% through 2026, 100% afterwards
❌Averages would be dramatically different: 20 states estimated to lose 35-60% of funding to move money to rural, red states
❌CBO has not estimated impact on premiums, but likely 20% spike next year
❌Would likely be presented to the House as "take it or leave it" if passes Senate
❌Provide no funding for recessions, natural disasters, public health emergencies, or price spikes
❌Targets women's health/family planning, mental health and substance abuse treatment
❌Uses the same "50 votes" only partisan technique to pass; upends all bipartisan progress of the last 2 weeks

It is vital to illuminate that both Republicans and most Democrats are in the pocket of the insurance industry and have fought implementing a healthcare system that would serve all. |
These are the countries that provide healthcare as a right for their citizens. The U.S. stands almost entirely alone among developed nations that lack universal health care. |
Another world is possible.
