The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Samuel --

Republicans have been clamoring for years to repeal the Affordable
Care Act -- even if it meant kicking millions of Americans off their
health coverage. They've promised to replace it with something, but
have never revealed the details of their plan.

House Republicans released their plan on Thursday -- but you won't
be able to find it online. The GOP leadership hid the bill in the Capitol,
moving it between a series of offices like a hot potato, so Democrats
and even some Republicans couldn't read it.

But last weekend, some of the details leaked -- and it's about as bad
as you could expect:

-- If you aren't one of the millions to lose coverage, you can expect
your premiums to rise and the subsidy to help pay for insurance to
decline.

-- If you get your health insurance from your employer, you'll pay
higher taxes on those benefits.

-- The Medicaid expansion will be reduced drastically, as will all
Medicaid benefits and eligibility. (By the way, a whopping 84% of
Americans support keeping the Medicaid expansion the way it is.)

The GOP did manage to include one bright spot for millionaires and
billionaires: a huge tax cut averaging $50,000 per millionaire, to be
paid for by cutting an additional $370 billion from Medicaid over the
next ten years.

It's clear that the GOP's health care plan would be catastrophic for
the vast majority of Americans, and it's not hard to see why tens of
thousands of Americans showed up at town halls just this past week
to tell their members of Congress not to take their health care away.

So when Republicans emerge from the basement lair where they're
plotting to destroy our health care system, let's make sure they know
we won't let them do it without a fight. Add your name to stand with
Democrats and commit to protecting the Affordable Care Act:
