By stripping health coverage away from millions of hard-working people, Graham-Cassidy Trumpcare would obliterate the promise of affordable health care in America, with shattering consequences: higher health costs, less coverage, gutting key protections, a crushing age tax, and stealing from Medicaid.

Editorial boards across the country are calling on Congressional Republicans to stop playing politics with lives of the American people and reject this deadly bill.
