No it will never work and everyone knows it. The cost of intensive care is often several hundred thousand dollars. And permanent disability often the result. Paid for by everyone.

Thats why only anti-social darwinians support such a thing. They dont think things through and are fueled by rage and not reason.

If they can't pay, then they will need to find a hospital or doctor to volunteer to help them. But absolutely no do the taxpayers get a bill.

Hospitals are a business and being a doctor is a profession, everyone is in the business of making money. If I have a loss in my business I don't get to send the bill to the taxpayer to reimburse me.

No I dont realize. Please someone show me who exactly these people are and why exactly are they going to lose their coverage.
Are they losing FREE health care benefits (premiums paid for by taxpayers) or are they losing the ability to get insurance coverage period? Can they get coverage from a private carrier or medicare or medicaid?

I am a rural conservative trump voter and how do you figure I am going to lose my coverage?
I would really like to know exactly how these numbers were determined not asked to rely on a tweet by a employee of the Daily Show.

CBO is headed by a handpicked Republican. TrumpCare is a disaster for Trump supporters and everyone knows it!

Tell that to the GOP who are highlighting the CBO estimate on how much it will reduce the budget.

oktay.
This is not unexpected at all. It's one of the key reasons why this is getting pushed, to dump more cost onto older people that have some retirement savings. Haven't you figured out yet that this game is all about accessing the enormous wealth in America's self-funded retirement system? ACA at least put some leash on that (although not much). If you are an older American under Trumpcare? Better lube up, geezer. And if you aren't a geezer? Better hope you die young.

Even if you're covered by employer health insurance, you'll easily be stung by the repeal of the ACA.

The ACA prohibits employers from imposing annual or lifetime limits on benefits and caps out-of-pocket spending (to $7,150 for single workers in 2017)

LOL, a family of 6 get in a car accident with an angry Trump supporter fueled with rage and the ER unit WILL treat all of the victims in this disaster. The first responders and the ER unit dont know whether they have insurance or not. Every second counts. Thats the way it is. Turns out none of them had insurance because of Trumpcare (24 million new uninsured) and they all became permanently disabled. And every American pays for this. Can you smell the freedom?
