Yup, millions will lose health insurance, many of them poor Trump voters. And after a few years, we will just hit bottom and when voters revolt we can have a real conversation on what constitutes minimum health care and the merits of single payer.[/quote]
They're not going to lose health insurance. It sounds like it's only the cost-sharing subsidies that will be impacted, not the premium subsidies. So people with low incomes will still get a free or nearly free insurance plan. They might have to pay more to see the doctor, but the plan itself would still be free. [/quote]

So you are saying poor people,can afford to pay more to see doctors?  And that the next rung up on the economic laddder can pay the higher insurance premiums?  Whew. That's a relief.  I thought people who were dirt poor might not be able to pay more to see the doctor, gets tests, fill prescriptions, etc. and that the true middle class was strapped enough without a hint GE health insurance premium rise.

Silly me. Such a relief that the government can stop paying billions and it will effect no one. Kinda makes you wonder why we were paying it in the first place.  [/quote]
Sarcasm isn't a good look for you.

Right now we have this ridiculous inequitable system where poor people get free insurance plans AND see the doctor for free, and working class ($50kish) have to pay astronomical premiums they can barely afford and then can't see the doctor anyway because it's not covered. In other words, moderste earners are required to provide FREE care to others that they can't afford for themselves! This way, the pain is spread more evenly, and the real hurt of Ocare is felt. This will force Comgress to act and come uo with a replacement. Otherwise, liberals will continue to be behind the plan, since poor people are taken care of and they (the liberals) have disdain for the working class.

Except poor people will continue to get free care through Medicaid and ACA premium subsidies, and the middle class will get stuck with sharply rising premiums. It makes the problem in the Middle worse. [/quote]
