Yesterday, the non-partisan independent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its analysis of the impact of the Republican Senate proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—the Better Care Reconciliation Act—and the topline is devastating—the bill would cause 22 million individuals to be uninsured over the next decade. The bill would impose drastic cuts to the Medicaid program and force individuals to pay more for health care that does not meet their needs.

We must urge senators to oppose this morally reprehensible and indefensible bill that would eliminate coverage for those who need it the most to provide tax breaks to the wealthy few who need them the least.
