"Repeal is back, and this version is just as bad!
The Cassidy-Graham repeal bill came out last week and could be headed for a vote next week. We need to stop this bill now! The Senate has just two weeks left to use the reconciliation bill for repeal, which is why we need to pull out all the stops through September 30th. We do not expect there to be a complete analysis of this bill by the Congressional Budget Office before a vote. That means Senators would be voting on a bill when they don't have an understanding of its impacts on constituents. The Cassidy-Graham bill would:
The Cassidy-Graham repeal bill came out last week and could be headed for a vote next week. We need to stop this bill now! The Senate has just two weeks left to use the reconciliation bill for repeal, which is why we need to pull out all the stops through September 30th. We do not expect there to be a complete analysis of this bill by the Congressional Budget Office before a vote. That means Senators would be voting on a bill when they don't have an understanding of its impacts on constituents. The Cassidy-Graham bill would:
- Rip coverage away from millions of Americans, including at least 600,000 Coloradans.
- Gut Medicaid for seniors, children, and people with disabilities, and ends the Medicaid expansion currently covering more than 400,000 Coloradans
- End financial assistance that helps working families afford health insurance and send insurers fleeing the individual market.
- Undermine protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
- Take away $3.84 billion in funding for health care in Colorado in 2027 alone.
- Congress should not vote on a bill without knowing the effects it will have. The CBO won't have time to complete a full score of the coverage and premium impacts before a vote.
- Resurrect - and worsen - the devastating cuts in coverage and benefits that the American public and the majority of Congress have already rejected.
This bill disproportionately harms states like Colorado that have expanded our Medicaid program and worked hard to get as many Coloradans covered in private insurance as possible.
