(10,901 posts)31. 400,000 more children are uninsured since Trump took office, CNN, 10/29/19
https://us.cnn.com/2019/10/30/politics/us-children-health-insurance/index.html
So if someone comes along and yammers about all of the blastulas and zygotes being murdered, ask them why Trump and his Trumpies don't care about children dying..
By the way, the same article says the total number of Americans (including adults) losing health insurance between 2017 and 2018 was 1.9 million -- truly an American genocide in progress.
======================================
AMERICAN GENOCIDE: somewhere around 15,000 Americans died between the years 2014 and 2017 as a result of states that turned down the money available to them from the federal government through the provisions of the ACA - paper by 4 scholars published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, 7/23/19

would increase the number of people who are uninsured by 23 million in 2026 relative to current law.
H.R. 1628, Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, Cost Estimate, CBO, 6/26/17

A little bit better: leaving 22 million uninsured in 2026 relative to current law.
=========================================
And no, emergency rooms are not comprehensive health care -- they do just enough to stabilize you and then give you a fistful of prescriptions that you can't afford to fill, and a bunch of referrals to doctors and specialists that you can't afford to see if you are like most uninsured. And I'm not talking about some aberrant ones that have been in a news, wheeling someone out onto the sidewalk and leaving them there. No, no, no, I'm talking about ALL of them. ALL.
