We will never forget the disgraceful AHCA vote on May 4th, 2017 as a symbol of the GOP’s war on health care, and there’s no doubt we will continue to hold Trump and Republicans accountable for their reckless actions to take away our health care. #ProtectOurCare #MadamSpeaker 1/ 
Two years ago, the GOP voted to repeal our health care. If it had become law, it would have left 23 MILLION *more* Americans without coverage, raised premiums by 20 percent, and gutted protections for people with pre-existing conditions. #WeWontForget #ProtectOurCare 2/
Two years ago, on May 4, 2017, the GOP House of Representatives passed the so-called “American Health Care Act,” or #AHCA, a health repeal bill that would have cut coverage, increased costs, and eliminated protections for millions of Americans. #WeWontForget #ProtectOurCare 3/
⚠️⚠️⚠️ THREAD: On the 1-year anniversary of the @HouseGOP passing the #AHCA (to repeal the #ACA), how many Americans would’ve lost their healthcare coverage in YOUR Congressional District?
1/ One year ago today, the @HouseGOP passed the #AHCA, which would have repealed the #ACA and replaced it with a plan which the CBO projected would cause 24 million people to lose healthcare coverage by 2026: cbo.gov/publication/52…
2/ The CBO didn’t break their 24 million projection out by State or Congressional District, but @EmilyG_DC of @amprog worked with @Cutler_econ to do just that. americanprogress.org/issues/healthc…
On the 8th Anniversary of #ACA it's crucial to demonstrate how our President has undermined healthcare for MILLIONS via #ACASabotage since his inauguration.

Medicaid's current path is unsustainable.In 1997, spending was abt $160B. Now it's $600B. If Obamacare is left, it will grow to $835B in2023
1in4 in IL are on Medicaid & 44% of expansion are males 19-34. This is unsustainable & makes it more difficult to help most vulnerable
#AHCA slows growth of Medicaid spending, helps more afford private health insurance, & we are committed to further reforms to lower costs
It's official: the House GOP voted to kick 23 million Americans off of health insurance by 2026. nytimes.com/2017/05/24/us/…
#AHCA will strip insurance from hundreds of thousands in NJ & spike premiums for all. And that's not a mistake - that's the intention.
