The Republicans released their replacement of Obamacare Monday afternoon. Here are the most important takeaways:
- The plan includes tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans
- There will be less financial support for older and poorer Americans
- Because there is less money raised in taxes, many Americans will effectively lose their coverage
- Republicans crafted the plan in secrecy (even their own members didn’t know the full details)
- The full impact of the plan is not clear because it has not been scored by the Congressional Budget Office
Winners: Wealthy Americans and insurance companies
Losers: Older and poorer Americans
Call your representatives to demand that full hearings and town halls be held to review the impact of the bill before it’s too late.
