Off a Cliff: Consequences of Repeal and Delay | Friends Committee On National Legislation

The Senate’s “repeal and delay” health care plan pushes 32 million people off a health care coverage cliff over 10 years.

Repeal and delay gives us two whole years to replace the Affordable Care Act! You'll be fine.

Interesting... One year in, and 17 million people have already lost coverage.

Falling stick figure. Birds fly in the background.

By the way.... We've decided to shred the safety net while we're at it.

Falling stick figure. Cloud in background.

Don't worry. We'll have something figured out before you hit bottom.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the Obamacare Repeal and Reconciliation Act would cause 17 million people to lose health coverage in the first year after passage, with premiums jumping 25 percent.

In the years following, experts predict that repeal legislation would cause a near-total collapse of the individual marketplace, dramatic drops in employer-provided health coverage, and skyrocketing premiums.
