Crapo-Cassidy health care bill Republicans will bring to the floor. Boooooo!

Here is the full Crapo-Cassidy bill that Senate Republicans will hold a floor vote on this week as their alternative to ACA funds as they're set to expire next month: www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Official summary:

The GOP plan is to let premiums massively spike for 21 million Americans.

And then it gives them k per year ONLY IF they switch to bronze plans — which it also raises the cost of.

Awful awful plan that fucks over sick people.

I'm a single person and relatively young and $1,000 wouldn't pay for two months of my healthcare insurance (which you can't even use HSA funds on), so what the hell is that supposed to do?

Between this and confirming RFK,Jr., he's clearly violated the first do no harm oath.
