The unpopular legislation that set to clear the House Thursday is substantially more expensive than the version the chamber's Republicans approved in May, and it includes roughly $300 billion more in cuts to Medicaid. The bill now heads to the desk of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly pledged not to cut Medicaid.

Analysts estimate that over the next 10 years, roughly 17 million Americans will lose health coverage under the GOP package, both due to the measure's Medicaid cuts and its failure to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.

Do you have any sources for this? I'm curious because the only bans to tg healthcare were dropped from the bill 2 days ago supposedly. Hoping they didn't sneak it back in. :/

Who knew that voting for a megalomanic sociopath could lead to such harm?

Wealthiest nation in the world, killing its own citizens to enrich the already grotesquely wealthy.

What a fucking joke of a country. We deserve to collapse. And we will. Our electorate is too stupid to make intelligent decisions.

Very, very dark times ahead.
