We will never forget the disgraceful AHCA vote on May 4th, 2017 as a symbol of the GOP’s war on health care, and there’s no doubt we will continue to hold Trump and Republicans accountable for their reckless actions to take away our health care. #ProtectOurCare #MadamSpeaker 1/ 
Two years ago, the GOP voted to repeal our health care. If it had become law, it would have left 23 MILLION *more* Americans without coverage, raised premiums by 20 percent, and gutted protections for people with pre-existing conditions. #WeWontForget #ProtectOurCare 2/
Two years ago, on May 4, 2017, the GOP House of Representatives passed the so-called “American Health Care Act,” or #AHCA, a health repeal bill that would have cut coverage, increased costs, and eliminated protections for millions of Americans. #WeWontForget #ProtectOurCare 3/
Under the House GOP health care bill:
❌ 23 MILLION Americans would have lost coverage
❌ 14 MILLION with #Medicaid would have lost coverage.
❌ 441,300 U.S. veterans would have lost coverage.

If the GOP’s repeal bill had become law, it would have raised health care costs:
⬆️ Raise Premiums By Double Digits.
⬆️ Impose An Age Tax – Older Americans Pay Nearly $12,000 More.
⬆️ Surcharge For People With Pre-Existing Conditions.

Last November, Republicans who voted for the #AHCA lost the House in a *landslide* election for Democrats who ran on ending the the Republican war on health care and protecting people with pre-existing conditions.
