The plans call for undermining the ACA’s Medicaid expansion and making deep additional cuts in Medicaid, which would take away health coverage, raise the cost of health care, or reduce access to needed health services for millions of people. Children, parents, and people with disabilities could face higher costs and lower access to health coverage, and millions of low-income adults could be left with no options for affordable coverage. — CBPP TakeAway: Throw the Republican bums out.
