Repealing Obamacare!
The US is the only Industrialized Nation that fails to provide UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE to its citizens. [Click on image to enlarge.]
Republicans continued to display their inability to govern.
And you thought the Republican Senate would have a better idea.
Are you paying attention? The Senate voted 51 to 48:
1. To end coverage for preexisting conditions, veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals.
2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare.
3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parents' insurance until age 26.
4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
5. Against the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision.
6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the ACA.
For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions:
Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone.
Real and disastrous actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs.
Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed.
The House votes Friday.
As of this moment, no replacement exists.
