Rep. Raúl R. Labrador (R-Idaho) defended the GOP health care bill at a town hall in southern Idaho on May 5. The program provides health insurance to low-income Americans and helps pay for long-term care for seniors and people with disabilities. Johnson wrote:That’s because the law’s most widespread feature is helping people buy health insurance, and the link between being covered by health insurance and actually being healthier is not fully understood. It would not, however, be a leap to say that losing health insurance would make someone’s health worse and might even lead to death. Studies have drawn connections between lack of access to health care and mortality rate.
