GOP unveils new plan to rip health care away from 12 million Americans

A new Republican plan will end the Medicaid expansion, which extended health insurance to 12 million people.
Republicans unveiled their latest effort to get rid of the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday with a new health care plan that would dramatically impact millions of Americans.
The Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative Republicans, released a plan that would roll back many of the protections in the ACA, give block grants to states rather than subsidies for individuals buying health insurance, and eliminate the Medicaid expansion enshrined in the ACA, according to the Hill.
The Medicaid expansion helped more than 12 million people obtain health insurance, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Since there is no legislative language, it is unclear how many — if any — of these 12 million Americans would be covered under the plan.
"I think that health care is going to create our majority," Rep. Roger Marshall (R-KS), chair of the committee, said when rolling out the new plan. "I think that we're going to get the majority back in the House, we're going to keep the Senate majority, we're going to win the presidency because of health care."
