Right-wing Republicans just introduced a so-called compromise bill, known as Graham-Cassidy, to win over the moderate wing of their party. But make no mistake, their latest proposal is just as cruel and heartless as the Trumpcare bills that came before it. After three failed attempts to advance Trumpcare, Mitch McConnell is so desperate for a win on health care that he is now trying to ram through the Graham-Cassidy bill by Sept. 30 to avoid a democratic filibuster and the public scrutiny of the bill’s dangerous impact.2 Sens.

Republicans are using the same old dirty tricks to advance this latest version of Trumpcare. Once again, they are pushing through a secretive bill to steal health care from millions of people that they drafted behind closed doors and with no time for public hearings, constituent input or amendments. The Graham-Cassidy bill would: End employer-provided health coverage for many Americans. Eliminate subsidies that help middle- and low-income people purchase health plans. Dramatically cut funding to support states’ Medicaid costs, an attack that could leave millions of people with disabilities and low-income families without health coverage. Give states the power to remove more expensive health services like maternity care from the list of essential benefits that insurance providers are required to cover. Allow insurance providers to charge more and reduce the quality of care for people with pre-existing conditions. Freeze Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. Increase health care premiums for seniors.3,4,5,6 Senate Republicans claim they are just a few votes short of repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with Graham-Cassidy, which is why we must speak out now.7 Together, we have stopped Trumpcare three times before – we can stop it again.
