House Republicans just voted 217-213 to roll the clock back and make the American healthcare system even more dysfunctional and unfair than it was before the Affordable Care Act was signed into law.
- A minimum of 24 million people could lose their health insurance. That number will go up when the Congressional Budget Office scores the bill next week.
- More than 24,000 people could die prematurely because of this bill, every year. That’s even more than are killed by guns every year.
- Premiums will spike insanely for people with pre-existing conditions.
- Premiums will spike insanely for people who are older than 50.
- Premiums will spike insanely for people living in red states.
- Medicaid will be gutted, destroyed.
- Medicare will be blown up.
That’s just a start. But, hey, millionaires get an average annual tax cut of $50,000, so it’s all good, right?
Here’s another consequence: we will make the political life of every Republican who voted for this a living hell.
Start now. Call and let them know that we’ve just begun and we’re not backing down. 202-224 3121.
