Politics trumps human life and suffering

A new independent study from the Urban Institute found that repealing the ACA without a replacement would leave 30 million people, including four million children, without the security of health coverage.

Millions of people who purchase their own insurance would see an increase in their taxes by more than $3,000 by abolishing healthcare tax credits and repealing the ACA.

People across the U.S. have benefited greatly from this new law through improvements such as:

All new insurance plans are required to cover preventive services at no cost-like check-ups, well-child visits, cancer screenings, and vaccines.

People with pre-existing conditions like asthma, cancer, and diabetes can no longer be denied or charged more for coverage.

People with chronic illnesses no longer face lifetime caps on their benefits that basically cuts off their coverage when they need it most.

Medicaid has improved and now provides coverage to millions more, including hard-working parents.

Congress had seven years to work on the ACA to fix it or replace it but refused to do so … it seems that Politics does not care about human life and suffering
