Denying coverage barbaric
The House made a disgrace of themselves forever by trying to pass the AHCA and repeal the ACA. I don’t respect the people elected to serve the public who make decisions that adversely affect their constituents in order to give more money to the rich.
The ACA helps millions of people have access to necessary health care, which is primarily what I think is important. We have access to health care for urgent needs, medicine, trauma, and basic care. We as human beings deserve this because going without and denying people this is barbaric.
I also think it’s important that there are jobs created for people in health care, which the ACA provides for.
What else is important in keeping ACA and rejecting AHCA is the protection for people with preexisting conditions. I don’t accept the exclusion of people from programs because of their preexisting conditions. Have you even read through what some of those include? It is insane.
