And the repeal of the ACA will definitely affect them too.

While I understand that repealing the ACA will disproportionately affect POC, I was only addressing your adamant comment whites not being hurt by repeal.

The fact is they will be and many of those that will be, from both POC and whites, are children, the elderly and disabled who often have no voice.

The hardest hit will be Trump Supporters.

White People don't like to admit it, but they are Always first and most in line for government assistance.

If you follow the logic of conservatives and the freedom caucus only about 1/3 of the country could see a doctor in the end. And to add to the problem public health would be gone.

...beyond smearing the CBO itself.

They are still selling white supremacy.

There is nothing racist about their health plan.

It's a horrible plan, but not everything is racist.

...they wouldn't still be so desperate to erase "Obamacare," and GOP voters wouldn't be so surprised to learn that "Obamacare" and the ACA are identical. Racism is a piece of why they are so determined to pass something and appear to be on the job. To make good on their dozens of fake repeal votes during Obama's tenure.

There's no racist language in their bill, sure, but watch and see how they try to sell it to us.

Everybody pays taxes. Everybody gets health care.

If they would rather have a tax cut than health care, why doesn't everyone get a tax cut in their plan? Tax cuts for the rich only?

Yeah, no.

Medicare for all! You don't even have to name it after Obama! Bonus!
