Deja Vu: Repeal and Run Still a Disaster

Over the course of the past six months, Americans have raised their voices to Congressional Republicans that their TrumpCare bills do not work for the American people. Now, Republicans are going back to their original rallying cry of repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) without a plan in place to provide adequate health care to millions of Americans.

The American people have rejected this proposal: 75 percent of Americans say they do not support repealing the ACA without a plan in place. "Repeal and run" is irresponsible and will have disastrous consequences for millions of people.

Repealing the ACA alone would lead to:

* 32 million more uninsured

* 5 million fewer people with coverage under Medicaid in the first year alone, increasing to 19 million by 2026

* Ten million people in the individual market will become uninsured in the first year, rising to 23 million in 2026

* Three million people with employer-sponsored insurance will lose coverage in the first year

Higher premiums, set annual or lifetime limits, exclude coverage for those preexisting conditions, discriminate against women, or deny coverage outright
