GOP Will Support Repeal Of Legislation Requiring ER Care If No Insurance.

[TheMastersNemesis]

In the end the GOP does not believe your heart attack should be treated if you are uninsured or are illegally here.

2. I tried to look this up, no luck. Do you have a link?

3. There Is No Link. Just Wait And See.

If you take health care to where they want to take it I believe they will go there. They have already now voted to take health care away from 13 million with this tax cut which will likely become law.

4. That's St. Ronnie's legacy

The only decent thing he ever did. I doubt if they will undo it for that reason alone. But if you need care that isn't an emergency, like chemotherapy, feel free to die in the street.

5. Think About It They Believe In Cash And Carry Payment On Demand.

6. Hospitals are businesses.

What other businesses are required to take non paying customers? If they aren't paid, they will close eventually. I don't understand what Republicans actually want. More beggars in the street?

7. So (no link) it's just you guessing?

8. I Realize That My OP Sounds Over The Top. Now Just Think.

Hospitals were already denying care in the ER before the ACA. Plus people with pre existing conditions were not insured or were faced with huge medical bills.

The GOP initiatives are going to drive out hospitals in the rural areas over time. When they get rid of Medicaid which they plan to do sick people with no insurance will have no where to go.

Before Reagan signed the bill requiring emergency care the GOP did not support that. They did not have Congress at the time. Now they do. And if they have gone this far on their agenda with this tax bill, it means they will go anywhere they damned will please.

9. They won't need to. Their legislation will see the closing of all

small and rural hospitals. Most will die before they reach an ER.

[workinclasszero]

10. Yup

People in the health care industry are going to suffer greatly when 13 million people who had insurance no longer pass through their doors.

Rural hospitals and the people working in them will be hit first. Many of them loyal republican voters I bet.

Coming right up next year.
