TrumpScare is a nightmare that will affect everyone — yes, even you Trump voters.
SUNSET OF ESSENTIAL BENEFITS REQUIREMENTS — Section 1937(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396u-7(b) (5) is amended by adding at the end the following ; ” This paragraph shall not apply after December 31, 2019.”
This obscene scheme sells out the middle class, seniors, the disabled and working poor — all to pay for a tax cut for the rich.
” Forget death panels. If Republicans pass this bill they’re the death party.” HILLARY CLINTON
Tell your Senator (202) 224-3121 to vote NO on Trumpscare.

Can you enlighten us with what is “Section 1937(b)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396u-7(b) (5)”? If it cuts or eliminates SS I can’t imagine that would be allowed politically.

As I understand, it would decimate the 52 year old Medicaid program by 25% that provides healthcare for the poor and 2/3 of all seniors living in nursing homes.

Under TrumpScare, Medicaid as we know it would be cut by $ 840 B.

I am excited to see Democrats in Washington call this what it is, a transfer of wealth from the sick and injured to the 1%.
fredrichlariccia says
TrumpScare tax cut for the richest top 400 individuals would pay for Medicaid health coverage for 750,000 working families.

If the Republicans pass this bill, Democrats are guaranteed victory in 2018 and 2020. But unlike Republicans, political victories for the sake of political victories are not the way of the Democratic Party. We are unwilling to hurt people so callously.
