I Recently Posted 50% Of Population Without Access To Health Care -
I believe my estimate would not be too far off if the Ryan budget ever passed and was made law. Thank God it will never be passed. What we have to realize is that his budget is just the first draft of what the GOP would really pass given the power.
For one they want to abolish Medicaid altogether. If you could really score and predict how many people would not have health care access 150 million without health care would be possible.
The most important thing to remember about the GOP position is that they believe in a "faith based" domestic agenda where ALL domestic programs are taken care of by the Salvation Army, Catholic church, private nonprofit charities, and the fundamentalist churches. That includes health care clinics run by churches.
Go back to 1900 when any poor person or disabled person had ONLY their church or a charity to turn to. And there were scores of orphanages. If you could not support yourself it was too bad. There was NOTHING. And the top 2% owned 100% of the wealth.
I believe the real Ryan budget as surreal as this one is is a lot more cruel than we can imagine.
