Any day now, the Senate will stop revising and vote on the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), which is the Senate version of the original American Health Care Act, and has been dubbed Trumpcare for short.

The American Health Care Act (Trumpcare) recently approved by the Republican-controlled House is a truly terrible bill. It would cause millions to lose Medicaid coverage to finance a large tax cut for the top 1 percent.
This has been a tumultuous week for healthcare reform. First there was the pleasantly quick defeat of the American Health Care Act in the House of Representatives Friday afternoon. Then, that evening, Senator Sanders spoke at a town hall in Vermont with Senator Pat Leahy and Representative Peter Welch where he announced that he would introduce a Medicare for All bill. Medicare for All and Bernie supporters lit up social media with their excitement over the announcement. This should have been great news, but it wasn’t exactly.

In their frenzied effort to strong-arm support for the flailing American Health Care Act (AHCA) before a vote on Friday, President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have officially made the Republican plan even worse.
The GOP’s American Health Care Act, a bill that has been advertised as a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, has finally been published — and by the looks of it, their so-called health care overhaul will leave countless Americans, especially those with low incomes, at great risk. If put in place, the Republican healthcare plan “would result in 14 million fewer people being covered by Medicaid” by 2018.
