Former President Barack Obama has criticized congressional Republicans for advancing legislation that threatens to undermine the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and endanger millions of Americans' healthcare coverage. He highlights that the Republican bill, which has already passed in the House, would cut health insurance for over 10 million individuals in the coming decade. This includes stripping Medicaid from 7.6 million and marketplace plans from 3.1 million. Unlike previous repeal attempts, these cuts are being tied to tax breaks without openly labeling them as repeals, presenting a more insidious threat to health care accessibility.
Unlike previous efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Republicans are embedding cuts in tax legislation and could strip coverage from over 10 million Americans.
Obama urges the public to call their Senators, emphasizing that cutting healthcare coverage is a risk that must not be accepted by Congress.
