“Most musicians rely on the ACA. Repealing it would affect everyone around me,” says Jon Dindas, producer of events such as Christmas Jam and Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. “These musicians are not covered under group plans and rely on the ACA for their coverage. For smaller artists, I think you’ll see less touring and less output.”

Two friends who are full time
Two friends who are full time musos are covered under ACA. One is receiving treatment for a cardiac condition, he is 40 and the other went to the dr for the first time in many years, diagnosed with Hep C, and got a transplant.
Literally life saving.
Unless the Senate can grow a pair my SIL is looking at nearly 10 grand per annum for his diabetes.
Millions more with similar stories.
But by all means let's enrich the insurance companies more and give a tax cut to the 400 billionaires who already control half the wealth.
Behind every great fortune is not only a great crime but a series on smaller, ongoing crimes. You can bank on it.

This bill will never pass the
I'm on ACA too. Don't even worry about this bill IMO.
This bill will never pass the Senate in its current form.
If the Senate changes the bill, then the House will need to vote on it again also.
This present bill is DOA.
Which makes the House and Prez's celebration extremely premature.
