Human rights

Posted

Senate Republicans are trying to push through an Affordable Care Act repeal before the end of the month. They are placing politics over human rights; the right to have healthcare for every American.

If the Cassidy/Graham bill passes here’s what happens to healthcare:

1. Medicaid expansion would be slashed.

2. Protections for pre-existing conditions will be eliminated.

3. Healthcare coverage will be gutted.

4. Premiums will be increased.

5. States could refuse to provide payment assistance for low-income families.

The list goes on and it does not favor the millions of Americans who are currently insured under the Affordable Care Act.

Thank you, Senator McCain, for not supporting this terrible bill. I wish your colleagues would consider human rights over politics.
