5. You know this vote has essentially killed the ACA right?

Millions will be forced out of the marketplace, dropping health insurance because they can’t afford it.

The ACA only works because there’s a large risk pool. Once that’s destroyed more and more insurers will leave. Rates will go up even more.

It’s a doom loop.

SNAP was within a day or so of being restored because that’s the law.

RIFs were similarly working their way through the courts since they’re also illegal.

We got nothing but a sham vote while engendering a lot of ill will.
