RYAN TOWN HALL FACT CHECK: Speaker Ryan Misleads Americans About GOP Attempts to #MakeAmericaSickAgain

At tonight's CNN Town Hall, Speaker Ryan couldn't help himself but spew misleading claims about the Affordable Care Act and Medicare.  But this is what Speaker Ryan and Congressional Republicans don't want you to know:

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, MEDICARE AND REPUBLICANS

• Up to 129 million Americans with pre-existing conditions now have protection.
• 20 million previously uninsured Americans have newfound health security.
• 56 percent of those who have found newfound health coverage are non-minorities.
• The quality of health care has improved – with, for example, Medicare enrollees having avoided 565,000 unnecessary hospital admissions.
• Medicare beneficiaries in the ‘donut hole' have saved more than $23.5 billion on their prescription drugs.
• A repeal of the Affordable Care Act would reward "400 super-rich U.S. households" with a massive tax giveaway.
• Under the Republican proposal, older Americans would once again be on their own to manage expensive health conditions while they wait to enroll in Medicare.
• The Republican plan will put big insurance companies back in charge of Americans' health care AND would cause premiums to spike.
• The Republican plan to repeal health care will increase prescription drug costs, premiums, and out-of-pocket costs for American families.

Speaker Ryan can twist words and spin phrases all he wants, but the American people know the facts: the Affordable Care Act works and Republicans want to Make America Sick Again.  Democrats will not allow Republicans to deliberately misinform the public and work to dismantle the health and economic security of hard-working Americans.
