That's a pretty small number of people most of whom don't bother to vote anyway. Those that do vote mostly vote Democrat anyway. So the Republicans don't have anything to lose by sticking it to them.

GOP health care plan: Influential hospitals, doctor groups come out against House proposal - WP

https://www.washingtonpost.com/power...=.291332fdb243

Looks like the opposition is growing to this misbegotten piece of crap legislation named TrumpCare.

Good.

From what I'm reading, that small number will be older folks aged 50 - 65 who will see their premiums double. Not many people that age can afford 24K a year for health insurance.

Another wealth transfer is what it is. A transfer from all those 401K plans to the 1%.
