A year ago, on this day, the most unpopular bill in the history of healthcare passed the House: The American Health Care Act. We stopped it from passing in the Senate by one single vote. But that’s how close it came to achieving its dangerous mission.
The Affordable Care Act prohibited insurance companies from charging more or denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
The AHCA would have allowed states to end it.
The Affordable Care Act required insurers to cover essential benefits such as mental health and maternity care.
The AHCA allowed states to define “essential benefits” and eliminate key provisions like maternity benefits.
The Affordable Care Act enabled states to expand Medicaid to cover working people just above the poverty line.
The AHCA would have drastically cut funding for Medicaid expansion after 2017.

Last year we mobilized, made our voices heard, and stopped the American Health Care Act from becoming law.
