Repeal or replacement will kill Americans, do you know any?

We need to list our friends, neighbors, relatives who will suffer the most from the intentional act of taking their healthcare.

Dont limit your list to people who rely on subsidies, we lose FAR more than that.

Anyone who has Health Insurance but will go over the maximum limit, which does not exist now, they will die.
Anyone who has a preexisting condition who cant get coverage, they may die.

Anyone who has health insurance (this applies to ALL Americans who are not on Medicare) but relies on ACA to cover copays and deductibles for preventive care

Most health plans must cover a set of preventive services — like shots and screening tests — at no cost to you


colonoscopies, mammograms, etc.

When ACA is gone you will pay huge deductibles and copays for these, right now you pay ZERO.

So many of you will put off needed care to avoid paying these fees that you now dont pay. Maybe you should be on this list, maybe I should be.

Most republican voters dont realize they are on ACA and dont know the advantages they have.

They just know Obama is black, and that is why they are against it.

McConnell promised every GOP Senator major dollars for their Reelection Campaigns. With voter suppression moving like Tsunami across the Nation. We thought the last Election was a major F--up,wait till next year.
