As soon as this despicable plan goes into effect many low income people (including myself) will no longer have the resources to
pay for a "real" insurance plan, something without $10,000 deductibles and huge co payments and no/limited drug cards. So, it
seems that the effects will be more immediately felt by the 20 million or so now enrolled in health insurance through the ACA. This will
be much sooner than 10 years...imo.
