Today, the Republicans of the American House of Representatives have adopted their reconciliation bill. He is now going to the Senate, with a final passage of passage this summer.
Vital programs reductions would pay administration priorities
The bill sentenced to the Chamber would extend and increase many tax reductions that the Republicans adopted in 2017, increased administrative priority expenses as well as the application of immigration, and increased the legal debt limit by $ 4 billions of dollars. Some of these costs would be paid, largely thanks to harmful discounts of the programs on which millions are based to remain healthy, in particular Medicaid, Medicare, the Act respecting affordable care and the additional nutritional assistance (SNAP) program.
CBO analysis provides millions of people by losing insurance coverage

Access to risk care
The bill would also increase costs and endanger care to many of those who manage to maintain their health coverage.
The bill too increase costs And compromise the care to many of those who manage to keep their health coverage.

Tax cuts benefit disproportionately
Supporters of the bill say that these changes are necessary to pay tax reductions, which they believe will benefit the Americans and the counter-designer of health coverage and food aid. But independent experts disagree. A separate CBO analysis This week concluded that the Americans who earn the least money would be worse under the bill.

Medicar rights firmly opposes the bill
The Medicare Rights Center firmly opposes this dangerous bill. He attacks Medicaid, Medicare and the affordable care law, undergoing health care, economic security and well-being so that low-income Americans finance tax policies who benefit disproportionately to those who need it the least. While attention turns to the upper room, we urge each senator to abandon this defective bill. The elderly cannot afford these changes. People with disabilities cannot afford these changes. Families cannot afford these changes. The health, access to care and the financial future of millions of Americans are at stake.
