isn't an insurance company anywhere in the country that would agree to take on members of such a high risk group - at any price. There's no profit in it. With the Affordable Care Act out the window courtesy of the GOP, insurance companies would once again deny coverage at will. The plan wouldn't just cost seniors more. It would basically prevent them from getting healthcare.
