Repeal will reverse progress toward guaranteed, affordable health care
Here’s a sample of how a repeal of health reform would affect provisions of the law that have already taken effect:
- Small business would no longer be eligible for tax credits to help provide workers with insurance
- Medicare participants will no longer be reimbursed for exorbitant drug costs incurred due to the “donut-hole” in their prescription drug coverage
- Business will no longer have accessed to the government reinsurance program that helps them maintain affordable coverage for early retirees
- State will no longer receive money to run high-risk insurance pools for those with pre-existing conditions
- Parents will lose the right to keep their children on their insurance plan until they're 26
- Insurance plans will no longer be required to cover preventive care without any cost sharing
- Insurance companies will be able to put a dollar value limit on the total amount of coverage they will offer you over your lifetime
- Insurance companies will gain back the ability to deny coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions
