THREAD: A short primer on all the ways the #GrahamCassidyBill is an intellectual and moral garbage truck fire.
1/ #GrahamCassidy eliminates protections for people who are or ever have been sick. GONE. Insurers back to denying coverage for the sick.
2/ Lifetime caps, annual caps, charging older people more - the greatest hits of Trumpcare - all back again in #GrahamCassidy
3/ Medicaid expansion vanishes. Millions will lose insurance, including loads of disabled and children. Many will die without care.
4/ Premiums go up for everyone. 20% in first year alone. Gets way worse after that if you are 50+ or making under 400% of poverty.
5/ Massive funding cuts to states. $4 billion to my little state of CT by 10 year mark. States will either slash programs or raise taxes.
6/ Even if states wanted to keep preexisting condition protections, they can't bc #GrahamCassidy gets rid of individual mandate.
7/ Bottom line: #GrahamCassidy, written in secret, hurts millions, makes every problem in the health care system worse not better.
