Dear
San
Franciscan,
From
the
beginning,
Trumpcare
has
meant
a
frightening
future
for
families
who
need
affordable,
dependable
health
care
the
most.
Today,
Republicans
in
the
House
of
Representatives
voted
for
higher
health
costs,
less
coverage,
gutting
key
protections,
an
age
tax
and
stealing
from
Medicare.

Slams
Passage
of
Trumpcare
Here
are
some
of
the
devastating
consequences
of
Trumpcare
if
it
becomes
law
–
- Higher
Costs:
Trumpcare
will
force
families
to
pay
higher
premiums
and
deductibles,
increasing
out-of-pocket
costs.
- Less
Coverage: Trumpcare
will
take
away
health
care
from
more
than
24
million
Americans.
- Key
Protections
Gutted: Trumpcare
eviscerates
Essential
Health
Benefits,
such
as
maternity,
prescription
drug
and
emergency
coverage;
and
guts
protections
for
Americans
with
pre-existing
conditions.
- A
Crushing
Age
Tax: Trumpcare
forces
Americans
aged
50-64
to
pay
premiums
five
times
higher
than
what
others
pay
for
health
coverage,
no
matter
how
healthy
they
are.
- Steals
from
Medicare: Trumpcare
shortens
the
life
of
the
Medicare
Trust
Fund
and
ransacks
funds
that
seniors
depend
on
to
get
the
long-term
care
they
need.
House
Republicans
have
now
tattooed
this
moral
monstrosity
to
their
foreheads. Now
as
the
bill
moves
to
the
Senate,
Democrats
in
Congress
and
across
the
country
will
continue
to
fight
with
all
our
strength
to
protect
seniors
and
hard-working
families
from
Trumpcare’s
assault
on
health
care.
