Byron Mallott. Those... Читать дальше...

The Washington State Medical Association warns of "massive cuts" and "devastating cuts" to health care in the state, if the Senate and Congress adopt Republicans' Graham-Cassidy legislation to replace Obamacare.

Only one thing is certain for insurance shoppers if the latest attempt to replace former President Barack Obama's health care law succeeds: Uncertainty. Will you be able to get coverage? How much will it cost? Will it cover my conditions? It depends. The proposal, sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, would shift funding and key coverage decisions for both private insurers and Medicaid to states instead of the federal government. That means the availability... Читать дальше...
