It’s a combination of the most damaging parts of the four previous attempts to repeal the ACA that were rejected by congress earlier this year. Here’s a summary of what this bill will do, and you can learn more about it here.
It gives states the ability to eliminate protections for people with pre-existing health conditions, like gender dysphoria, acid reflux, HIV, migraines, depression, an eating disorder, anxiety, obesity, diabetes, pregnancy, cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, congestive heart failure, hepatitis, sleep apnea, and Parkinson's disease, and many more.
In the next ten years, Colorado will lose $10 billion in funds to supplement health care costs for people and we won’t recover from it.
It will eliminate health care for 468,000 Coloradans.
This affects us all.
Senator Cory Gardner told reporters this morning he is undecided on the new bill, despite his votes in favor of every version of an Obamacare repeal that has come up for a vote.
Call Sen. Gardner’s office TODAY and tell him to vote NO on the Cassidy-Graham bill. Tell him to vote NO on this attack on LGBTQ Coloradans and their families.
