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.

When will the elected assemblage finally figure the people just want what they have? At the same prices too! What makes them so special????
Geez...... That simple.......
Until the ability to control prices little will be accomplished. As long as the industry pulls the strings of our elected nothing gonna happen.

The Joint Committee for Taxation calls TrumpCare a $600 Billion tax break for corporations and the wealthy.

Paul Ryan admitted as much in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Whell, it seems you, Trump and Ryan are the only people left supporting TrumpCare. Congratulations on the company you keep.

Just a thought..........
What if way back when, when the AHCA was at it's design stage, the republicans that were in congress had gotten on board and tried to design a decent plan. What if they had tried to make something that would work instead of trying to block, sabatoge and destroy the Act? I wonder what the plan would have looked like?

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%.

I wonder what America would look like, if way back in the 80's republicans had worked to make it better instead of trying to block, sabotage and destroy all the good things we had going for us for the benefit of the 1%?

There is only one solution.
Single payer Medicare for everybody.
Anything else is at best a half measure.
And I will not support any more half measures.
