UPDATE
1/13/2017 - 8 p.m.: Ryan’s Republican House just passed a bill that starts the
repeal of the Affordable Care Act at the House level. Contact Republican House
reps at https://www.opencongress.org/people/zipcidelookup
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan and the rest of the Republican congressional death wishers are biting at the bit to repeal Obamacare without one viably affordable replacement.
The Texas Republican governor and state legislators
deny their constituents' affordable health care access and here are the results:
- 4.3 million Texans - including 623.000 children- lack health insurance (1.75 times the national average).
- Those who lack insurance coverage enjoy far-worse health status than their insured counterparts.
- Groups with the high likelihood of lacking health insurance in Texas are young adults 19-34; individuals in fair or poor health; Hispanics, and people in families with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level
- Republicans want to “repeal and delay” Obamacare starting “day one” so they can defund the law via “budget reconciliation” (starving key provisions of the law by stopping funding, which they have the votes to do and cannot be filibustered).
- After cost assistance, Medicaid expansion, and other key provisions are defunded, they will seek to repeal other provisions of the law while they spend the next 2-4 years working on a replacement plan (a plan that will likely include the privatization of Medicare and Medicaid.
WE cannot let the Republican Congress
put more Americans at risk because of their blind disdain for a Black President!
