Good. I'm sick of picking up the tab for worthless leeches.
You already did before Obamacare. The reason hospitals have to charge so much money to people with insurance is to subsidize the free care they give to the uninsured.

Yep.
Before ACA, the Federal Goverment would reimburse Florida approx $2 billion per YEAR to cover uninsured people that didn't pay their hospital bills. Florida is just one of 50 states.
Other western nations with single payer consume less of their GDP for healthcare than we do and we don't have coverage for everyone either.
Spending less does not equate to costing less.

What have Democrats done in that 6 years to fix Obamacare?
Trump promised the American people that his new healthcare plan would cover everyone regardless of income or pre-existing conditions. We expect him to keep that promise.
Oh, you silly person. Have you heard all the lies Trump has told in the last 40 days??? LOLOLOLOL
Trump promised that his plan would be "better, cheaper, and cover everyone." I fully expect him and Congressional Republicans to live up to that promise. Republicans were elected on this Trump campaign plank, not the Ryan plank to eliminate the pre-existing condition clause and privatize Medicare. If this plan is not better, cheaper, and does not cover more people than Obamacare, then Trump and the Republicans will suffer. They better tread carefully and realize most of America does not share Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand dystopian views.
it was a lie, just like everything else that comes out of his mouth, including that Ted's Cruz's father was involved in the kennedy assassination.
The American people won't be satisfied until it is repealed and replaced with single-payer, Medicare-For-All.
Darn right Medicare is PROVEN to have the lowest overhead of any insurance provider. Private insurance will never be cost competitive with single payer because private insurers have to add a markup to your doctors bill to make profit.
