How many Americans would lose healthcare coverage if the #ACA is struck down in YOUR Congressional District? (Updated for the #COVID19 era) 1/

acasignups.net/20/06/29/how-m…
In March 2019, the @urbaninstitute wrote an analysis which concluded that if the Trump/GOP #TexasFoldEm lawsuit is successful & the #ACA is struck down, 20 million Americans would lose healthcare coverage & states would lose $135 billion/yr in funding. 2/

A few months later,
@EmilyG_DC, @NicoleRapfogel & I broke those 20 million people & $135 billion/yr out by all 425 Congressional Districts: 3/

However, all of this was from *before* the #COVID19 pandemic hit the U.S. at the beginning of this year. With 40 million+ Americans having lost their jobs & a healthcare system uended, @EmilyG_DC & @NicoleRapfogel posted an updated/revised estimate: 4/ americanprogress.org/issues/healthc…
Their @AmProg analysis concluded that the number of Americans who'd lose their healthcare coverage if the Supreme Court strikes down the #ACA would be over 3 million higher than the prior estimate...~23 million total. However, they ran the numbers at the state level only. 5/
Therefore, I've taken their new estimates a step further & have broken that 23 million estimate out by all 435 House districts. This version doesn't include the additional *funding* which would be lost, though I'd guess it would be perhaps $20 billion more/yr (~$155B total). 6/
