Happy Fourth of July!
)
Like a zombie out of a horror movie, “Trumpcare” has been resurrected. Republicans are determined to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. This time, states will be able to waive the “essential health benefits” provision. Maternity care? Emergency services? Mental health issues? No longer provided for. People with pre-existing conditions will be charged far higher for insurance, essentially pricing them out of the market. Finally, the elderly will become a cash cow for insurance companies.
Republican lawmakers recognize that the plan is a disaster: Congress and their family members would be exempted from the repeal.
If Trumpcare passes, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Jimmy Kimmel has made a heartfelt plea for why people like his son, who was born last week with a congenital heart defect, should not be denied healthcare. That's what is at stake here: By fighting for the ACA, you can help save millions of lives.
