The President and I do agree on one thing: designing a healthcare system is complicated. But the effects of TrumpCare are as simple as they are devastating: 24 million hardworking Americans will lose their coverage; your healthcare costs and premiums will go up, and your coverage will go down; and for those of us between the ages of 50 and 64, we are about to be hit with an age tax just when we need coverage the most, just when we are trying to help with college tuition and save for our retirement. As we face an opiate crisis in this country that takes 120 American lives a day, TrumpCare will close the door on treatment for over 1 million Americans. Our President tells us that he is a dealmaker. This is the ultimate bad deal for the American people, and we should reject this bill. ____________________
