Donald Trump ran for President on a promise that he would protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from cuts, and that his health-care plan "would take care of everybody."
Trumpcare does the opposite.
On Monday, the Congressional Budget Office (whose director was hand picked by House Speaker Paul Ryan), released it's analysis showing that Trumpcare would cause 24 million people to lose health insurance in the next decade.
And Republicans are starting to feel the heat.
Remember: Nobody voted to cut Medicare or Medicaid.
But Trumpcare has $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid alone, and raids $117 billion form Medicare -- cutting nearly $1 trillion from both programs that will be used for a massive tax break for the wealthy!
Earlier this week we highlighted five Republican Senators who had expressed reservations about voting for Trumpcare.
That list keeps growing:
13 Republican Senators are now on record with deep reservations about gutting the Affordable Care Act and enacting Trumpcare in it's place.
Senators Shelley Moore Caputo (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA). Susan Collins (R-ME),Tom Cotton (R-AR), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Dean Heller (R-NV), Mike Lee (R-Utah), John McCain (R-AZ), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rand Paul (R-KY), Rob Portman (R-OH), and David Purdue (R-GA)
These 13 Senators have all expressed reservations on Trump care,
and we need at least three to vote NO!
Keep the pressure on! Sign the petition today!
