Legislative Update
On May 5th, 2017, the House passed a bill to replace the Affordable Care Act by a narrow margin of 217 to 213 votes. The bill will next go to the Senate for a vote. As the GOP holds only a 2 seat majority in the senate, it would only take 3 GOP "no" votes to stop the passage of the bill.
Among many things, critics of the bill are concerned about the bill's limits on federal funding of Medicaid, the increase in uninsured rates and the impact of age-based tax credits. A letter from the republican governors of Ohio, Michigan, Nevada and Arkansas stated that the bill "provides almost no new flexibility for states, does not ensure the resources necessary to make sure no one is left out, and shifts significant new costs to states." The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the bill could lead to 24 million more Americans without insurance within a decade. The CBO also estimated that under the new bill Americans in their early sixties would have to pay premiums more than 5 times higher. Critics say that the age-based tax credits will be particularly harmful for adults aged 50-64 and the AARP has been a strong opponent of the new ACA replacement bill.
Now is the time to call or email your Senator to let them know your concerns about the bill's shortcomings and the impact it will have on you. You can call the Senate switchboard operator at (202) 224-3121 or you can go to this website to find the contact information for California Senators Diane Feinstein and Kamala Harris.
