Republicans Target The ACA In Their Relentless Quest To Decimate Health Care To Hand Out Tax Breaks To Billionaires
Republicans are taking yet another swing at gutting the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in Trump’s big, ugly bill despite failing to repeal the ACA before. The GOP bill cuts almost $300 billion from the ACA and eliminates tax credits that make health care affordable for middle-class families to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. It will hike premiums, raise out-of-pocket costs for millions of middle-class families, and add miles of red tape. As a result, over 8 million Americans will lose their health care, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. In total, 16 million Americans are expected to lose health care because of the largest cuts in history to Medicaid and the ACA, and as the GOP finalizes this bill, this number will likely grow. These health care cuts will be life-and-death for millions, ripping health care away from seniors, children, veterans, people with disabilities, workers who don’t get insurance through their jobs, and people who take care of their children or elderly parents. No community will be left untouched by Donald Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.
