We haven't heard much about the large Medicare (not Medicaid) cuts that would be mandatory from this GOP bill.
That's because it violates statutory PAYGO laws and no patch was added to fix that.
Back in February, @urbaninstitute analysis showed that eliminating the enhanced Medicaid expansion FMAP could add 10.8M to the ranks of the uninsured if all states dropped their expansions. 12 states already have triggers that would do this automatically. https://t.co/YvpQc3lB0w
@PeterSullivan4 If reducing the expansion FMAP to standard FMAPs led all expansion states to drop their expansions, @urbaninstitute analysis shows could see 10.8M more uninsured people. https://t.co/YvpQc3lB0w
To get a sense of what effect repealing the ACA would have, check out @urbaninstitute's John Holahan's summary of prior analyses of repeal that show the numbers of uninsured could increase by 25-30 million people. https://t.co/BF1AuA2zJH
Mike Johnson says one of Trump’s top priorities will be to repeal the Affordable Care Act and rip away health care from tens of millions of Americans: “No Obamacare”
Zara porter with a great poster. One bullet stuck with me: Postpartum patients offered resources when they seek actual conversation about what they are feeling and experiencing.
A wake up call. Will anyone listen to @shwoolf and @laudyaron? If not, lives will continue to be lost. @VCU @urbaninstitute https://t.co/5wRuWX8uVZ
@THAToneil@onceuponA Plans did figure out how to deliver care for less, sometimes by providing fewer unnecessary services. But that doesn’t stop the government from overpaying for the care plans provide.
15 million people are expected to lose Medicaid in the next year as states remove people for the first time in three years.
@saynikpay shares 3 studies to make sense of what is happening and how states could keep more people insured.

New research from @urbaninstitute and @HarvardChanSPH shows that health system's relatively high commercial prices are not primarily used to offset losses from public payers, but to increase profits and liquidity.
The findings of this cross-sectional study highlight that prices negotiated by health systems with commercial payers are an important factor in explaining differential health system profitability and wealth. https://t.co/OG9RBc6A5W
