It is not hyperbolic to say in the end that will kill Americans.

Some Americans like myself.

ACA banned lifetime limits.

If they get rid of ACA, and lifetime limits go back into effect, my insurance would be worthless.

I was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1990.
I am in my third remission. Unfortunately, my maintenance treatment costs in excess of $1 million.

When it returned in 2019, I went through four unsuccessful treatments over 2 years.
I was able to achieve a complete remission with the fifth due to ban on lifetime limits and cancer research.
In addition, Trump and GOP have cancelled cancer research.
