The disaster that is known as Donald Trump’s #Trumpcare, is still the disaster known as #Trumpcare per Brookings latest study. This study includes the Ryan amendment payoffs for votes.
24 Million still lose their healthcare coverage according to Brookings. Any small gains they made, are offset by their continued assault on Medicaid.
Since Ryan and Trump want to jam this turd through without a CBO analysis, it's great that Brookings is sounding the alarm again about Trumpcare.
Keep resisting this huge piece of garbage, that will damage the lives of millions.

We conclude that the changes made by the manager’s amendment will not meaningfully alter CBO’s earlier prediction that the AHCA would substantially reduce insurance coverage. While one provision of the manager’s amendment would slightly relax the “per capita cap” on state Medicaid spending created under the AHCA and thereby modestly increase CBO’s estimate of insurance coverage under the AHCA, the work requirement and block grant options created by the manager’s amendment have the potential to cause additional coverage losses that largely or more than offset this improvement, at least if states take up these options.
