Let’s recap: The 1st Republican amendment, which slashes Medicaid, increases premiums and brings back junk plans was DEFEATED 43-57.
-
Under this plan, 22 million Americans would lose coverage and Medicaid would be cut by 35%, devastating care for children and the elderly.
It’s good news that this amendment was soundly defeated. It shows there is little support for the bill Republicans have pushed for months.

NEXT: We vote on the 2nd Republican amendment in an hour. It repeals the Affordable Care Act with no replacement. An easy NO vote.
-
This approach would cause 32 MILLION Americans to lose coverage. Premiums next year would increase by 25% MORE than projected!
