The Senate returns today from a week-long recess—during which GOP lawmakers largely avoided their constituents—and will pick up where they left off in hammering out an agreement on their bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Here are 9 charts that lay out the severe impacts of the Senate’s health care bill’s provisions.

I think we need a universal public option, now, to start and compete against the drug and for profit insurance companies, health is not some capitalist competition for wall street and the nasdaq, it is a right and not a privilege .

There is a big difference in health care and health insurance, and when you digest the charts I ask to think of the difference


health·care

noun
noun: health care; modifier noun: health-care; noun: health-care
the maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health, especially through the provision of medical services.
"healthcare workers"

Health Insurance

Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that pays for medical and surgical expenses incurred by the insured. Health insurance can reimburse the insured for expenses incurred from illness or injury, or pay the care provider directly.

The republicans want to take both of these away from you

3. Why aren't THEY

joining this excellent healthcare bill? Why should we subsidize their healthcare, and the rest of us struggle? How many of them have pre-existing conditions, preventing them from getting coverage under this bill? Enough of this double standard. Same healthcare for EVERYONE, even those who THINK they are above the rest of us.
