compared to Obamacare, which has many flaws, this will:
- increase deductibles
- increase premiums
- make health insurance unavailable to the middle class
- reduce the number of doctors accepting medicaid
- significantly reduce availability of medicaid to the elderly

If you or someone in your family will need nursing care starting around 2025, when even deeper Medicaid cuts hit, you should be fighting tooth and nail against this. You will never be able to afford nursing home care unless you are pretty fucking rich. This is going to bankrupt millions of families.
but, it gives tax breaks to the wealthy and pharma companies and it makes it almost impossible to use insurance to pay for an abortion. So, that's a win for GOP supporters, I guess?
