Healthcare repeal will cost American lives


Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Healthcare repeal will kill Americans

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat of Texas, was very candid rebuking republican attempts to repeal healthcare reform.
Jackson Lee said, "Frankly, I would just say to you, this is about saving lives…..this is killing Americans if we take this away, if we repeal this bill,” according to The Hill.

Some of the benefits of ‘Obamacare’ include insurability for people with pre-existing conditions, additional money for seniors on Medicare to pay for drugs and tax credit for employers who provide health insurance to their workers.

Approximately 46,000 Americans die each year due to lack of health insurance. President Obama’s healthcare reform was designed to reduce those numbers by making healthcare more accessible and affordable for an additional 32 million Americans.
