Trumpcare kicks 24 million off insurance

Sens. Capito, Gardner, Heller, Murkowski and Portman

The Congressional Budget Office, whose director was hand-picked by Speaker Paul Ryan, just released its estimates on the impact of the Trump/Ryan health care proposal. These numbers are terrifying.

If implemented, the CBO estimates that Trumpcare would cause 24 million people to lose health insurance in the next decade, and premiums would rise 120-125 percent for older adults just below Medicare eligibility age.

Sens. Rob Portman (OH), Shelley Moore Capito (WV), Cory Gardner (CO), and Lisa Murkowski (AK) sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signaling their reservations about Trumpcare. And Sen. Dean Heller (NV) told his constituents over the weekend that he had numerous objections to the bill. We can stop this in the Senate!

Please stand up for everyone with health insurance by pledging to vote no on the American Health Care Act, which would cause 24 million people to lose insurance in the next decade, and cause premiums to rise for everyone who still has insurance.
