⚠️⚠️⚠️ THREAD: On the 1-year anniversary of the @HouseGOP passing the #AHCA (to repeal the #ACA), how many Americans would’ve lost their healthcare coverage in YOUR Congressional District?
1/ One year ago today, the @HouseGOP passed the #AHCA, which would have repealed the #ACA and replaced it with a plan which the CBO projected would cause 24 million people to lose healthcare coverage by 2026: cbo.gov/publication/52…
2/ The CBO didn’t break their 24 million projection out by State or Congressional District, but @EmilyG_DC of @amprog worked with @Cutler_econ to do just that. americanprogress.org/issues/healthc…

THREAD: #GrahamCassidy isn’t just bad for women's health - it’s catastrophic. Here are FIVE things you need to know:
#DoNoHarm
#DoNoHarm
1. #GrahamCassidy wld block care at @PPFA, leaving many w/ nowhere to turn for basic care like cancer screenings & birth control. #DoNoHarm
1 in 5 women rely on @PPFA. Over half of PPFA patients rely on Medicaid. 56% of PP clinics are in underserved areas. #DoNoHarm #SaveMedicaid
Since my diagnosis, people come up to me at airports, grocery stores, and restaurants to tell me that they too are cancer survivors.
It is never a good time to have cancer, but what I am experiencing is the care and concern expressed by total strangers. This is compassion.
What we do as leaders affecting everyone’s lives should reflect compassion. There is no compassion in #GrahamCassidy

"I was diagnosed with Leukemia on March 21st. This isn’t the first time I’ve had cancer—I beat it when I was just three years old." (2/8)
"Beating cancer at just three years old means I’ve had a pre-existing condition since I was a child." (3/8)

Thought after last failed attempt at repeal, Congress would push for bipartisan effort to improve healthcare. Wrong. politico.com/story/2017/09/…
#GrahamCassidy is not the answer Americans deserve. Heathy and those with pre-existing conditions deserve better.
Sen @BillCassidy called our reading of his health care bill on pre-existing conditions false. Here’s how we read it: n.pr/2fAWevD
Prior to ACA, insurers routinely excluded care for cancer or mental health or made the coverage so expensive that it was out of reach
Current law (ACA) guarantees coverage for 10 “essential health benefits”—in every exchange policy in every state bit.ly/2wGO8qS
The #GrahamCassidy Obamacare Amnesty bill would be one of the largest new appropriations in our history, costing taxpayers over $1 Trillion
How on earth could a trillion dollar appropriation be considered conservative or a repeal of Obamacare? It is neither
This new "gang" bill is another Grahamnesty, this time for Obamacare. Conservatives have seen this before.

#GrahamCassidy health care repeal would be devastating for millions of Americans & we cannot let it pass. Here are a few of the reasons why:
1) It ends Medicaid expansion, which experts have called the #1 tool at our disposal to combat the opioid crisis
2) It caps and cuts Medicaid for seniors and people who experience disabilities – putting community-based care programs at risk
Republicans will try to ram through their health care repeal without knowing how many Americans it will hurt.
By selling junk plans & slashing Medicaid, #GrahamCassidy:
Rips coverage from tens of millions of working families
Health care costs ↑

I oppose #GrahamCassidy bill because RI would lose $625M in health care funding. Will Senators in states facing massive cuts do the same?
Will @lisamurkowski & @SenDanSullivan oppose $255M in cuts for Alaska under #GrahamCassidy bill? cbpp.org/research/healt…
Will @SenJohnMcCain & @JeffFlake oppose $1.6B in cuts for Arizona under #GrahamCassidy bill? cbpp.org/research/healt…
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
Medicine can be tough. You can do everything right and death still wins. But this is not a weakness — this is life.
I hope every learner that works with me learns this lesson. Death comes for everyone, eventually. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss
Sometimes there is nothing we can do to stop it. These are the times to just be with your patients. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss
#GrahamCassidy cuts #Medicaid. 1,750,000 veterans covered by Medicaid. A vote for #GrahamCassidy is a vote to take healthcare from veterans.
Insurance coverage for nonelderly veterans increased after the ACA due in part to Medicaid expansion. #GrahamCassidy
Medicaid expansion led to larger coverage increases for low-income veterans. #GrahamCassidy
1. Whose healthcare suffers under #GrahamCassidy? Our fellow Americans: kids at soccer practice; the babysitter with a transplanted kidney;
2. grocery store workers who keep produce fresh; a teacher aide struggling to get by; nursing home employees comforting elderly or disabled;
3. & 32 million more. They're not "other people." You know someone who will lose care because #GrahamCassidy targets our fellow Americans.
AARP stands ready to work with Congress on commonsense, bipartisan solutions to improve health care.
#GrahamCassidy is not that bill.
#GrahamCassidy is not that bill.
#GrahamCassidy has the same flaws as the proposals rejected by AARP, consumer groups, doctors, hospitals, & the public earlier this year.
#GrahamCassidy would price gouge older Americans with an age tax, decrease coverage, and undermine pre-existing condition protections.
1) Here are our thoughts on the latest repeal effort to take away healthcare from working families. Read this thread & call 866-426-2631
2) #CassidyGraham is a last-ditch effort to go back to a damaging, secretive & partisan approach to repeal the ACA and take away our care.
3) #CassidyGraham would drastically cut #Medicaid - endangering vital services for seniors, people w disabilities, families & children
