After Obamacare is repealed, things will be so much better. That horrible, unconstitutional, un-American law, which represents, in the words of at least one Republican congressman, 'the greatest existential threat to the United States', will be erased from the books, and we'll all be so much better off.
After Obamacare is repealed, the hyperinflation in the costs of medical care can resume; it has been running well over the rate of inflation for several decades, and despite a slight reduction in the rate of increase between the passage of Obamacare and now, it will be free to resume it's rapid climb. No longer will there be a mandate for insurers to operate within at least a modest limitation on overhead and profit (15%), but will now be able to hike rates with NO limitations... a huge VICTORY for free enterprise.
After Obamacare is repealed, the free and relatively unregulated market for health care insurance can resume. Insurers will be able to pick and choose clients according to their expected need to make claims, so all you young and healthy people will get a terrific break on your insurance costs.... while you are young and healthy, that is. For those of us not quite immortal, things might not be so good.... but what the hell, party while ya can, right?
After Obamacare is repealed, everyone will be free to sign up for minimalist policies that will cover an annual physical, a few prescriptions, and not much else.... thereby permitting folks to once again gamble with the taxpayers money, since if they DO get very sick, that is who will be picking up the tab.Of course, hospital expenditures for uncompensated care will continue to skyrocket... but hey, that is always someone else's problem, and even if you ARE paying for it with tax dollars, you don't really 'see' those costs, so it's like, free, yanno?
After Obamacare is repealed, your insurance rates will continue to rise... but once you hit 50, or 55, those rates will skyrocket. Instead of being limited to a reasonable increase, they can resume rising like they did before, to 5x or more compared to what younger people will pay. There will be no regulation or limit on what insurers will charge, so naturally, they will raise rates to the roof. Competition won't stop them... because they will ALL do it... you don't need an actual meeting in a smoke filled room to constitute collusion, because simple commercial instincts will do the job.
After Obamacare is repealed, you'll be able to keep the insurance coverage you already have.... until, of course, your insurer decides to drop you. They won't need a reason, other than the supposition that you're likely to start requiring a lot more medical care in the future, like, for example, if you are diagnosed with diabetes. They'll be able to dump you, and pick up some young person instead. No law or regulation will stop them. Isn't the free market great?
After Obamacare is repealed, you'll be able to keep your current health care insurance. Of course, if they DO drop you, getting another policy might not be possible. Some insurers, before Obamacare, were refusing applicants for conditions like sleep apnea, and in one case, psoriasis. Not to worry, if you're young and healthy, though.
After Obamacare is repealed, your 22 year old son, with a college degree he can't convert into a job, is free to buy any policy he wants, with any of the money he doesn't have. If he's lucky, and is flipping burgers at McDonalds, he can be covered by their policy, which will generously provide all the necessary compensation for treating a hangnail. Unfortunately, if he is diagnosed with a serious disease.... leukemia or something else that will require hundreds on thousands of dollars over years to cure or treat, you can give him his inheritance early.
After Obamacare is repealed, the hopes and dreams of thirty million Americans who have been heretofore unable to buy health care insurance will be dashed. They will continue to rely on uncompensated care via emergency rooms, which we will all pay for via taxes, and via ever increasing hospital charges to cover the uncompensated expenses.... but hey, that's THEIR problem, not yours, right?
Yes, this disaster of a law will go away, and things will be so much better for the country, just like they were before. It will be a huge victory for the interests of the compassionate and concerned legislators who have only the best interests of the entire country at heart.
