I don't know who needs this lesson to countravene the "scary Socialism will take your choice" Palin approach that we heard in 2009 with the ACA, but your insurance can deny any coverage based on cost NOW--& does every hour of every day. #M4A insures everyone. THAT is the lesson.

I have had to spend HOURS trying to convince my insurere--one of the top insurance companies in the country--to pay for my OXYGEN, which is essential for me to BREATHE. For two weeks I have been fighting over the cost of ny lung medication. AND my premium is $1,978.10 PER MONTH.

So these Palinesque "death panels" arguments against #M4A are a throwback to 2009 and the passage of the #ACA which wasn't even insurance, just a law making insurers accountable. There are MILLIONS of uninsured kids--new study last week. We have to do better than fearmongering.

⚠️ GRAPHICS-HEAVY THREAD: Next week, the #TexasFoldEm lawsuit brought by 20 Republican Attorneys General against the #ACA goes to court. The Trump Administration is refusing to defend against it even though it EVERY legal expert says it’s a pile of steaming garbage. 1/

2/ If the #TexasFoldEm plaintiffs succeed, federal protections for those w/#PreExistingConditions would be gone. Not just on the individual market…people w/EMPLOYER coverage would be at risk as well, especially since most people are out of a job at least once in their lives.

3/ Here’s a reminder of the idiotic “argument” the #TexasFoldEm plaintiffs are using:
1. SCOTUS ruled the #ACA mandate is only Constitutional because it’s a tax.
2. The GOP repealed the mandate tax.
3. Therefore, they get to repeal the rest of the #ACA as well.
Really. That’s it.

⚠️ THREAD: According to the HHS Dept., appx. 130 MILLION non-elderly Americans have pre-existing conditions which would likely get them either denied coverage or charged so much for coverage they’d be effectively priced out of the market. 1/

2/ Here’s the breakout of how healthcare spending is concentrated nationally, according to @KaiserFamFound :

3/ As you can see, 1% of the population accounts for 23% of all healthcare spending. Think cancer patients undergoing chemo, etc.
