Do you know how many lives we could save if we took all of Hollywoods money, leaving them with lets say the earnings of the median income in the US? Do you KNOW HOW MANY LIVES WE COULD SAVE!!!
HEy, since we can save many lives, it is good right?
The problem with your argument is that we could justify all sorts of crimes against the people by using the claim of "but it saved lives!!!".
Sorry, but the end does not justify the means".
All you are doing is stealing from other people, harming them to pick the winners and losers.
How does one with cancer and no insurance get care? ERs don't do chemo, they stabilize and release.
ERs don't supply insulin, blood thinners.... rotator cuff surgery...prenatal care...
"So it's true that an emergency room won't let you die if you show up at the door, but short of that, you can't get care for a host of medical issues. And, while they will provide that lifesaving care to you even if you have no insurance and no money, they will send you a bill. And if you can't pay, it may cause you, and your family, financial ruin."
Rand Paul has released a plan to replace Obamacare. Looks pretty good to me, but I think it will be a tough sell to the Democrats by removing the pre-existing conditions. Besides that I don't see anything controversial and I would support it. Republican Health-Care Plan: Rand Paul Makes a Good Start | National Review
Just for fun I will make this a public poll to see who supports it and who doesn't.
"but I think it will be a tough sell to the Democrats"
Who cares?
They don't have the power to stop anything thanks to ole dirty harry and him changing the rules which is how the dems passed it in the first place with not 1 SINGLE repub vote in favor.
No requirement for insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. It's a non-starter. Also doesn't prevent insurance from dumping high-cost, sick customers.
"It's a non-starter."
Obviously you do NOT know how getting a bill passed works.
Those two issues will likely be the compromises and I wouldn't be surprised if that's on the final Republican replacement plan. I personally would be okay with that compromise.
"I wouldn't be surprised if that's on the final Republican replacement plan."
It has been supported by every repub that has spoken about it, including Trump.

Logical fallacy of Exaggeration/Stretching the Truth/ Overstatement.
The problem with your argument is that its nonsense.
Rand Paul's plan sound like going back to the bad old days. HSAs are worthless for a lot of people. If everybody doesn't have insurance, the emergency rooms will be stuck with those people using them as healthcare and the costs will be passed on to the rest of us. Under ACA, the charity costs for hospitals had been declining because more people were insured. The magic of the free market can't solve this.
