16 Big Lessons from Trump and the GOP's First Attempt to Destroy Our Health Care System—Here They Go Again @alternet

16 Big Lessons from Trump and the GOP's First Attempt to Destroy Our Health Care System—Here They Go Again @alternet:

"1. That Ryan and House leaders have no moral qualm taking away access to health care for 24 million people. None. 2. By the time the bill got done, it raised premiums 15-20 percent. Cut care from vets, stripped benefits, raised deductibles, hurt hospitals, cut 25 percent from Medicaid, which effectively ended our 1965 Medicaid safety net commitment, and robbed from the Medicare Trust Fund. 3. Even that was not enough for many in the House GOP, who wanted Americans to get even less, including no pre-existing protections. They still do."
