Sure, poor people have it rough. We should give them a hand. But that's no excuse to indulge the socialists who want government to control every. fucking. thing.If ACA is completely thrown out, cheap catastrophic plans will be legal again. That, combined with a saving account to cover the deductible, is by far the best way to go.Needless to say, invalidating the ACA would be madness:
"As many as 133 million Americans — roughly half the population under the age of 65 — have pre-existing medical conditions that could disqualify them from buying a health insurance policy or cause them to pay significantly higher premiums if the health law were overturned…
…about 21 million are at serious risk of becoming uninsured if Obamacare is struck down.
…more than 12 million low-income adults who have gained Medicaid coverage through the law’s expansion of the program could lose it.
… 109 million people would face lifetime limits on their coverage without the health law…
60 million Medicare beneficiaries would face changes to medical care and possibly higher premiums…
The Urban Institute estimated that nationwide, without the A.C.A., the cost of care for people who cannot pay for it could increase as much as $50.2 billion."
If the Supreme Court Ends Obamacare, Here’s What It Would Mean
The Affordable Care Act touches the lives of most Americans, and its abolition could have a significant effect on many millions more people than those who get their health coverage through it.www.nytimes.com
If by chance the scotus throws it out and even with trump promising pre x will be covered rates will not come down simply because of the pre x. Now, if pre x isn't guaranteed and it's back to the old days of asking health question's rates will come down but not as much as everyone is hoping and the very same people on this board that want's to get rid of any kind of guaranteed health insurance will be screaming when they are either declined are charge much more money for their policy than one the same age and sex because of a pre x.
That's if you have the income to cover that savings account. Over half of the population no longer has any disposable income.
And how are we going to give them a helping hand without some idiot screaming, "That's Socialism" at the top of their lungs? You tell ME where do we draw the line. And that is the problem of trying to get rid of the ACA. No Replacement and the Courts don't allow the total removal of the ACA. Yes, promises keep being made but it's been about 20 years worth of empty promises.
