ACA "reform"

Just a few of the "great" (in other words f**cked up) new ideas for ACA reform by trump and GOP.

"Access" for ALL. (This has nothing to do with affording it.)

Trump is asking Secretary Price - to deregulate the Health and Human Services Department in order to reduce costs of care.

"Reforms" that reduce cost of care:
---allow insurance to be purchased across state lines
---deregulate drug companies in exchange for negotiating drug prices
---tax credits according to age. The older you get the more you pay.
---tax cuts for people earning more than $200,000 year.
---deeper tax cuts for people earning $1 million a year or more.

This ACA "reform" is in service to billionaires and corporations. It has nothing to do with The People.

Just tragic!
