Senator McConnell is trying to sell the most unpopular legislation in three decades! This bill got only 12% support in a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk university poll.
Trumpcare (the American Health Care Act) would:
1. Cut health coverage for 22 million people;
2. People with pre-existing conditions and older people would pay much more in premiums and deductibles to retain health care coverage;
3. One in three Medicaid dollars that assist low income families and older persons would be cut (throw grandma out of a nursing home?);
4. A modest 3.8% tax on earned income of the wealthy would eliminated. For millionaires that's a $44,000 tax cut. Billionaires, like Trump, would get a $1 million tax cut according to Americans for Tax Fairness!
