Wow. All those red hats in West Virginia and Kentucky are about to lose their health insurance.
maga.
But not their ability to have supreme healthcare.
You do realize, insurance is a legal pyramid scheme.
The only place a pyramid scheme is allowed in the USA.

They won't even see it coming. I once compared unseen consequences to Columbus and the Indians. My son very aptly said that it would be like frogs in a foundation totally unaware that the concrete was coming.
Ah, so what. The people who will die are poor people anyway, and who needs them !
If there will be anything that causes our civilization to vanish, it will be the fact that we really do not care about our fellow man any more. Life has become so cheap and we treat it like we treat everything else, it is disposable.
But don't worry, Trump is going to come up with his " big beautiful healthcare plan, that costs pennies", as soon as he finishes building his wall !
Better figure out how Trump will add a tax on your healthcare...... Or everything proposed, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
It is a 10th Amendment issue, until it is taxed at the federal level.
God bless compulsory charity and expropriation of surplus on behalf of those in need, minus a hefty cut for the management!
What could be wrong with slavery and theft by government for resources to expend in a horrid medical care system that government created, by criminalizing the unlicensed trade in care, and then granting gamblers (underwriters) the privilege to skim millions from the sick.
Who would want the pre-socialist system run by religious zealots who worked for practically nothing? Can't get rich in that system.
If it stands, then many people on Federal disability should be concerned. If the Social Security Administration (where I worked for 30 years before retirement) finds that an individual has experienced medical improvement related to their ability to work, and so ceases their disability, their Medicare coverage (under Title II) will also cease. They will then need to obtain private health insurance.
Of course, either their application for insurance will be outright denied based on pre-existing conditions (namely, those the person had while collecting disability), or the premiums will be very, very high, with the policy specifically not covering those pre-existing conditions.
Being a supporter of Mr. Trump will not exempt one from this happening.
Some commentators have opined that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will uphold this ruling from a Federal District Court. I am not so sure, having practiced law in said circuit all of my legal life. When it comes to disability and health issues (issues in my wheelhouse) the Court has been surprisingly liberal over the years.

I might have considered voting Republican in the next election. I really don't like the Democrats because they do a lot of things that harm America. But it's out of the question in my mind now. I will support only Democrats going forward. This is NOT making America great again in any way, and it does tremendous harm to our country.
This issue is too important, and it's a disgrace to so many partisans agitate for freedom from healthcare. Obamacare is flawed - but without an adequate replacement (here's a clue: the only good alternative is universal healthcare), it is absolutely inane to dismantle it.
Fake news.
