Sen. Shaheen on Health Care Bill: This Is a Bill that Would Deny Millions of Americans Health Insurance

EXCERPT:

SHAHEEN: "This is just more of the same in a new package. This is a bill that would deny millions of Americans health insurance. It would mean that Medicaid, which 70 million Americans depend on in New Hampshire, the expansion of Medicaid has provided health care coverage for thousands of people including people with substance use disorders, which is a huge challenge in New Hampshire and so much of the country. And what it would do is kick those people off of their treatment and it would wind up meaning that people with pre-existing conditions would have to pay more or they would be denied insurance coverage. This is just the same kind of mean-spirited effort to deny coverage to people across the country."
