Researchers have found that if Republicans passed Graham-Cassidy, an additional 41,600 Americans would die each year.
According to Physicians For A National Health Plan:
Physicians and public health researchers Drs. Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein estimate that implementation of the proposed Graham-Cassidy legislation would push an additional 32 million Americans off their health insurance over the next decade, resulting in 41,600 additional deaths in 2027.
….
“The Graham-Cassidy bill—what we’re calling ‘The Undertaker Full Employment Act’—would cut health coverage by 14 million Americans in 2020, rising to at least 32 million in 2027,” said Dr. Woolhandler, an internist in the South Bronx, Distinguished Professor of Public Health at the City University of New York at Hunter College (CUNY) and lecturer in medicine at Harvard. “That means 18,200 extra deaths in the first year, climbing to 41,600 annually within a decade.”
Republicans are going to try to pass a bill that would kill over 400,000 people within the next decade, because they believe that they have to repeal Obamacare whether it is actually good policy or not. Donald Trump has quickly turned the Republican Party into a group of people who are obsessed with making it look like they are winning.
Senate Republicans don’t care if their bill will kill more than 40,000 Americans a year. The actual policy details don’t matter. All that matters is that they pass something, so that they can say that they got rid of Obamacare. Killing people with bad health care policy is a minor detail, which they will happy to blame the governors for.
The Republicans who vote for Graham-Cassidy are voting for the murder of the poor, the sick, the elderly, and the disabled. If this deadly legislation becomes law, the blood of Americans who die from a lack of or inadequate health care will be on their hands.
