Coverage for Million at Risk! Congress to Vote on New Health Care Bill Soon

9/20/2017

Stop Last Ditch Effort to Repeal Affordable Care Act!
Despite public outcry and their subsequent failure to pass health care legislation, some members of Congress are still are attempting to find a way to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act.
This most recent legislation, known as the Cassidy-Graham bill, retains many of the most damaging features from previous bills.

It would effectively end Medicaid expansion - known as Arkansas Works in Arkansas - and eliminate the ACA tax credits, causing millions of people to lose coverage. It replaces Medicaid expansion and health insurance subsidies with block grants to the states, but these would end after 2026, forcing states to grapple with even steeper budget cuts in subsequent years.
Cassidy-Graham would allow states to waive the ACA's prohibition on charging people with pre-existing conditions higher premiums.
The Cassidy-Graham bill would change the way we fund Medicaid to a model that caps and cuts funding, resulting in billions of dollars in cuts. Federal funding to Arkansas alone would be cut by over $1 billion yearly by 2026 compared to current projections.
This dangerous cost shift to the state will put children, seniors, and disabled individuals in Arkansas at great risk. That's because when costs go up, states would have no choice but to institute deep and growing cuts to certain services, such as home and community-based care for seniors and people with disabilities.

Ultimately, Cassidy-Graham still suffers from the same problems as the previous bills: it shifts billions of dollars in costs to the states, removes millions of people from health coverage altogether, and increases premiums for everyone else. You can learn more about this bill here.
Tell your Senators and Representative they should reject Cassidy-Graham's last ditch effort to take away health care coverage for millions of Americans!
