Graham / Cassidy bill will kill Obamacare as we know it.

[usaf-vet]

Thanks Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy for these bullet points.

1/ #GrahamCassidy eliminates protections for people who are or ever have been sick. GONE. Insurers back to denying coverage for the sick.

2/ Lifetime caps, annual caps, charging older people more - the greatest hits of Trumpcare - all back again in #GrahamCassidy

3/ Medicaid expansion vanishes. Millions will lose insurance, including loads of disabled and children. Many will die without care.

4/ Premiums go up for everyone. 20% in first year alone. Gets way worse after that if you are 50+ or making under 400% of poverty.

5/ Massive funding cuts to states. $4 billion to my little state of CT by 10 year mark. States will either slash programs or raise taxes.

6/ Even if states wanted to keep preexisting condition protections, they can't bc #GrahamCassidy gets rid of individual mandate.

7/ Bottom line: #GrahamCassidy, written in secret, hurts millions, makes every problem in the health care system worse not better.
