Story Body
Congressional Republicans and President Trump are launching a devastating assault on low-and middle-income Americans, and they’re doing it under a cloak of unprecedented secrecy.
Last month, the Congressional Budget Office reported that the Republican legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would kick 23 million Americans off of health coverage. And now — after a closed-door, secret process involving only 13 male senators — the Senate is planning to vote on an even more damaging version of this legislation within the next week.
This effort would end the Medicaid program as we know it and unconscionably remove the guarantee that Americans cannot be denied coverage or charged more for their pre-existing conditions.
