Choose the 13.7 million people who are at risk of losing health insurance over the ultra wealthy.
KFF reports how the uninsured rate would increase in each state if the GOP so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" (aka the "death bill") passes. It will be compounded if the ACA Enhanced Subsidies are allowed to expire. This will result in an estimated 13.7 million people losing health insurance.
From KFF: "The combined effects of the House Reconciliation package with the expiration of the ACA enhanced tax credits, compared to a scenario where the enhanced subsidies are in place and the proposed integrity rule was not in effect, results in the greatest increases in Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington, where the uninsured rate is expected to increase by at least 5 percentage points. 30 states and the District of Columbia may see an increase in their uninsured rates of 3 percentage points or more.
About half (46%) of the 13.7 million more people who would be uninsured in this scenario live in Florida (1.8M), Texas (1.6M), California (1.5M), New York (800k), and Georgia (610k). Texas (2.8M Marketplace growth), Florida (2.8M) and Georgia (1.0M) experienced the most ACA Marketplace growth since 2020, the year before the enhanced premium tax credits became available."
GOP: Vote no on this bill. Otherwise, you can surely expect to massively lose the midterms.
