The Trump Administration is backing a lawsuit to wipe out the ACA, with no replacement. That means:
❌ Protections for 3.4 million Virginians w/ pre-existing conditions
❌ Coverage for 328,020 Virginians though the ACA
❌ Coverage for ~280,000 Virginians under Medicaid expansion

Funding for substance abuse and opioid addiction treatment is at risk. Same for critical reimbursements that rural hospitals count on. Not to mention:
❌ 4.3 million Virginians who get insurance through their employers would lose critical consumer protections, including free preventive care, and prohibitions on lifetime/annual limits or waiting periods to enroll in insurance.
❌ Some 235,000 women in Virginia could once again be charged more than men. Not to mention the ~2 million women who could face higher out-of-pocket costs for contraception.
If this President gets his way, health insurance in this country will cover less, cost more, and be a lot harder to come by.
