BACKGROUND
The Cassidy-Graham-Heller repeal plan:

* Converts Medicaid to a per-capita program, making it more difficult for states to combat public health emergencies like the opioid epidemic.

* Gives states the ability to waive the ACA's essential health benefits - which guarantee coverage for substance abuse treatment and mental health care.
