The GOP is Dismantling the ACA Piece by Piece

ACA (Obamacare) gave an additional 20 million Americans health insurance. The GOP ​is taking it away from 70% of them by:

  • Removing enhanced tax credits (set to expire at year end)
  • Forcing insurance providers to increase premiums by 18%
  • People will not be able to afford health insurance so they will be forced to drop out of ACA

A 55 year old couple making $85k a year will see their health insurance spike from $7k a year to $24k a year. There is no way they will be able to afford that.
