                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on Trumpcare, also 
             known as the American Health Care Act of 2017.

Whereas the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has made great strides in 
        ensuring that health care is affordable, accessible and attainable for 
        all Americans;
Whereas Trumpcare, also known as the American Health Care Act of 2017, threatens 
        to undo all of the gains made by the Patient Protection and Affordable 
        Care Act;
Whereas under Trumpcare, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates 
        that 24 million Americans will lose health care coverage by 2026;
Whereas under Trumpcare, individuals and families will be forced to pay higher 
        costs for worse care;
Whereas under Trumpcare, older Americans will be forced to pay premiums five 
        times higher than what others will pay for health care coverage;
Whereas Trumpcare would steal from part A of the Medicare program, reducing 
        Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund revenues by $117 billion between 
        2017 and 2026, hurting older Americans;
Whereas under Trumpcare, $880 billion will be cut from Medicaid over the next 
        ten years, causing 14 million Americans to be uninsured; and
Whereas under Trumpcare, the 400 wealthiest Americans will receive a new $7 
        million tax break each year: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports efforts to ensure access to quality and 
        affordable health care for all Americans; and
            (2) rejects any effort to take away the health care from 
        Americans.
                                 <all>
