    Five Graphs Show Just How Bad Trumpcare Is

    Incredible as it may seem, Trumpcare actually insures less people than simply repealing Obamacare in its entirety outright. That's right, it is actually worse than status quo ante the Affordable Care Act.


    On average, out of pocket costs from premiums will rise, in some place by over 100%.



    The over $600 million in tax cuts in Trumpcare all, yes, every single cent, goes to those making over $180,000.


    While Trumpcare may lower out of pocket premium costs for some younger, healthy people, much of that savings will be offset by skimpier coverage and higher deductibles.


    When you consider the net effect of the benefit cuts under Trumpcare combined with the massive tax cuts, you find that lower income people will pay more so that rich people can get richer and very rich people benefit the most.


    There are 23 Republicans in the House who represent districts that Hillary Clinton carried in the last election or were virtual dead heats. If all 23 of those vote against this bill, it will not pass. If you live in one of these districts, now is the time to make your feelings and resistance known. Call your representative TODAY!
