PS: just today Trump is said to be Ok with stepping up getting rid of medicade expansion by the end of this year!

The medicade expansion has many Trump supporters who had no insurance before Obamacare and have it now and voted for Trump and will now lose it maybe by the end of this year!!

I want the Trump supporters who lose their coverage to know exactly why, to know exactly why they are losing their insurance coverage.

You voted for this!

NBC News reports that health-care experts across the political spectrum agree that the new House GOP health-care plan, which Trump has now endorsed, falls short of his promises:
The bill, experts said, falls far short of the goals President Donald Trump laid out: Affordable coverage for everyone; lower deductibles and health care costs; better care; and zero cuts to Medicaid. Instead, the bill is almost certain to reduce overall coverage, result in deductibles increasing, and will phase out Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
The American Medical Association came out against the GOP bill on Wednesday morning, arguing that its subsidy scheme and rollback of Medicaid expansion would produce a “decline in health insurance coverage,” instead calling on Republicans to “ensure that those who are currently covered do not become uninsured.” The GOP bill would likely result in millions losing insurance, even though Trump himself recently promised that
the GOP replacement would mean “insurance for everybody.”
It’s plausible that the GOP bill would hit a lot of Trump voters. A new Kaiser Family Foundation analysis concludes that
older, lower-income people will likely see a loss of financial support for insurance — many of whom are probably Trump voters.
Non-college whites in the Rust Belt states that flipped to Trump saw a big drop in the uninsured rate under the ACA. Meanwhile, the GOP bill would mean cuts to Medicaid over time and potentially a phasing-out of the expansion, something that might also hit many Trump voters.
