Ryan Bill Will Collapse Health Care System In The US. Even If You Have Insurance You're Screwed.

Even if you have employer paid insurance your premiums will go up and employers will drop coverage. In the end 100 million will end up uninsured and the rest of the population will be under insured. You have to look at the logical end to what Ryan wants to do. And the conservatives want an even worst bill.

The republican party is a bunch of idealogical extremists. They continue to follow beliefs wether they are right or wrong. It does not matter.

Their entire existence prior to Obamacare was to take your money and deny, deny, deny coverage.

Obamacare put a stop to that and most insurers got out as fast as they could.

and they can go back to denying all they want.

They are removing the rule of Obamacare that 80% of their income HAS to be spent on the insured.

That might work if we take back Congress and pass Medicare for all.
