Another Lie of Republican Health Care Exposed - No One on Medicaid Will Lose It

Except for the Six Million Who Will

Darn Numbers, and imagine what it will look like with just a repeal of ACA as Republicans may now try to do.

The JAMA has the numbers on Republican version of health care.  They ain't pretty.

Medicaid by the Numbers

• Number of beneficiaries in 2017^a
  • Total, 77 million
  • Children, 34 million
  • Parents and childless adults, 27 million
  • Elderly (≥65 y), 6 million
  • Blind and disabled, 9 million
  • Pregnant women, 2 million births^b
• Projected number of beneficiaries in 2026 (ACA)^c
  • Total, 86 million
  • Children, 35 million
  • Parents and childless adults, 32 million
  • Elderly (≥65 y), 8 million
  • Blind and disabled, 11 million
  • Pregnant women, NA
• Projected number of beneficiaries in 2026 (proposed legislation)^d
• Total, 71 million
• 
  
So what's the difference between the 77 million benefiting today and the 71 million in 2026 that would be covered if the Senate passes their bill. Six million you say. But not to worry, maybe some of those people will needlessly die, so they don't count.
