Graham Cassidy is the same warmed over Trumpcare tax scheme to gut health coverage for tens of millions of people. Trumpcare was a tax scheme because that was the goal - shift the tax burden from rich to everyone else.
Graham Cassidy is the same, but it goes after a different aspect of Medicaid to do it. It’s going to take massive amounts of funding from states that have been good at protecting their citizens and giving a portion of it to states that screwed their citizens over the years since Obamacare was enacted.
The balance gets pocketed by the rich.
It’s still a massive tax grab for the rich, and the burdens fall to everyone else - disporportionately those states that followed the law and did right by their residents.
