(10,602 posts)Add up everything that the GOP wants for healthcare reveals how big a disaster they would be. As I see it half of the population would end up in ER under their plan. If you add up the cost and the loss of health care that would result with a GOP plan 100 million could be without health care. Squish Medicare, nearly shut down Medicaide, let insurance companies deny for pre existing condition, cut off care and cap payments, and you would disenfranchise huge numbers of Americans. And seniors would be out in droves.
You medicare coupon would be worthless if you had a pre existing condition before ACA. And remember the GOP would include veterans having a coupon too. The VA and Tricare are also targets for this "coupon" plan.
It should be obvious why R$R are so vague about health care.
