100 Million Sick Will Lose Health Care Treatment Under GOP Plan. No Link. Just Following The Logic

It does not take a genius to figure out that virtually all people with pre existing conditions will lose medical help. For one they will not even begin to afford the premiums. And the $8 billion will cover nothing really.

Plus hospitals, clinics, and other facilities will have to close. Rural areas will lose even more medical facilities. Some communities will have NO medical for hundreds of miles. The long term effect will be the degradation and erosion of the entire public health care system. It will starve of funding.

Medicaid gutting will leave almost all the most vulnerable defenseless against their diseases. Plus disabled patients will be completely abandoned in so many ways.

You might as well establish death camps and ovens. This legislation is just plain criminal. And we will see diseases like tuberculosis, measles, severe infections, deadly flues et al rise.

You might as well set off a nuclear device. Even people with regular insurance will lose is as they are sent to high risk pools after a significant or chronic illness.

YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES. This bill will essentially collapse the entire system.
