We reviewed the bill.
 
We now know the details on how they plan to cut your healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy.
 
7 ways they are cutting healthcare 🧵👇🏼

1) Requires low-income Americans to pay to visit the doctor.

Every time they visit the doctor, they pay money.

2) Adds paperwork and red tape to keep people from getting healthcare, and to kick people off their healthcare.

3) Cuts subsidies that millions rely on for affordable healthcare – it’s repealing the Affordable Care Act by another name.

4) Shifts healthcare costs to states.

Then -- it bans states from using a provider tax to try and cover the gap in lost coverage.
 
States won’t be able to cover the gap, and people will lose their healthcare.

5) Eliminates retroactive Medicaid coverage for nursing homes and emergency room services – they’re eliminating the safety net for people when they need healthcare the most.

6) Cuts funding for Planned Parenthood to eliminate basic healthcare like mammograms, birth control, STD testing, etc.

7) Reduces the minimum number of nurses at nursing homes.

They don’t have to do this.
 
They can pay for tax relief for Americans who need it by making the uber-wealthy pay their taxes. The math is simple. Small changes to taxes for the super wealthy will allow them to strengthen healthcare, not cut it.
 
This is a life and death fight. People will die without their healthcare.
 
We have to win this fight.
