A question please, for someone smarter than me. Re: Trumpcare.

If Trumpcare passes, how long will it take for the effects to be seen?

Specifically, how long will it take before premiums become unsustainable for those of us who have pre-existing conditions?

Human nature being what it is, my concern is that if it creeps in slowly, the American public will be like the frog in a pot of boiling water, and will not understand what hit them or who is to blame.

I appreciate all answers, and I thank you in advance.

The 2018 enrollment for 2019 will see big inflated prices for everyone including employer based plans.
