The March to Socialism

According to South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham, failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) will be the first step on a march to socialism.

That's questionable, to say the least.  Several facts argue to the contrary, among them:

• The bill, nicknamed Trumpcare 2 and put forward by Graham and his also-Republican Senate colleague Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, would return complete control of Medicaid to individual states, thereby giving them the ability to gut it altogether.
• Trumpcare 2 would make it easier for insurance companies to set lifetime limits on amounts paid, thereby reintroducing the possibility of bankruptcy due to health care costs.
• Trumpcare 2 would make it easier for insurance companies to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions (such as pregnancy).
• Trumpcare 2 would make it easier for insurance companies to deny coverage for mental health and addiction problems.

Pennsylvania's Democratic Senator Bob Casey will of course not vote to repeal Obamacare; Republican Pat Toomey (he of the Club for Growth) almost certainly will.  Should the latter take place, here's where you can go to tell Mr. Toomey what you think.
