The Senate Trumpcare bill could leave many veterans with no health care
September 18, 2017
This is a timely new study for all those patriotic, veteran-loving Republican senators who might be tempted to support another vote on Obamacare repeal: it would leave many veterans uninsured and put additional strain on the VA medical system

The CBO Won’t Score the Final Trumpcare Bill for Weeks
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligence...score-the-final-trumpcare-bill-for-weeks.html
Here is a look at a few of the ways Louisianians will suffer under the Cassidy-Graham-Heller bill:
Ends the ACA’s Medicaid expansion, which covers over 430,000 Louisiana residents.
Cancels tax credits that help over 110,000 Louisiana families – 90 percent of Louisiana marketplace enrollees – afford health insurance.
Eliminates subsidies that reduce out-of-pocket costs for 70,000 Louisiana residents, which is 58 percent of the total marketplace enrollees in the state.
Slashes billions in federal funding to states for expanding health insurance coverage and lowering costs.

Senator Bill Cassidy formerly has stuck to the painful truth. Now, he has started to tell lies. What changed ?
Republicans fast-track another 'Obamacare' repeal effort
he Congressional Budget Office is in the process of estimating the cost and coverage impact of the Graham-Cassidy bill, according to a senior Senate Republican aide. The measure from Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Bill Cassidy, R-La., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., would provide states with funding to establish health insurance programs outside ACA protections and mandates, an approach that could force millions off insurance rolls.
Republicans are facing pressure to undercut the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, with legislation as soon as possible, partially because the Senate's ability to pass budgetary legislation with a simple majority expires Sept. 30. After that date, health-care legislation will require 60 votes to pass, making it much harder for Republicans to approve legislation that would restructure Obamacare.
