So once the Affordable Care Act is repealed.

[LuvLoogie]

What then?

[Ocelot II]

1. Expensive private insurance that doesn't cover pre-existing conditions,

just like the bad ol' days.

[2naSalit]

11. Only worse.

[Coventina]

2. It mostly will affect people over 50

You know, the useless ones.

[JCMach1]

3. We start dying. That would likely include me BTW.

[enid602]

6. Social Security

And you know what they say, ‘dead men don’t cash checks.’ So Social Security will take care of itself.

[AllyCat]

4. Trying to get my kids to move. They could go to Canada for school and

Get health coverage. All have pre-existing conditions and will never get insurance here.

[dchill]

5. Ah, well, next pandemic we all die.

No more vaccines.

[lapfog_1]

7. well, women can kiss abortion pills goodbye

nationwide.

Next we can all kiss birth control goodbye.

ACA - gone
EPA - gone
Education - who needs it
NASA - we have Musk and SpaceX so that's gone
DOE - I swear they think this is related to oil or natural gas regulation - so that will be gone
FCC - weaponized... we only license what WE want
FEC - don't need that anymore
IRS - only go after the people we don't like
DOJ - see IRS rules
HHS / CDC / etc - oh boy... won't be any vaccines available... or any other medicines other than what big pharma want to push
DOD - well, we can downsize that a bit, after all... we will let any dictator run state start shit wherever they want
SS - gone ( I will be swimming out to sea in a warm Caribbean current.... just far enough that I can't make it back ) when my retirement savings run out

[2naSalit]

12. It will only be...

A couple more years and the biosphere won't support us anyway.

[dgauss]

8. The right wing propaganda machine will blame democrats.

And then the brainwashed will continue to vote for more Republicans.

Ok, I'm feeling a little cynical and don't have much confidence in about 50% of the American public at this point.

[imanamerican63]

9. I'm 61 yrs old!

My job has a good insurance plan for the employees, but I just don’t know what will happen? It could be a disaster if they were to go with a different insurance company that doesn’t have a coverage policy, my preexisting conditions might be a big problem for me too!

What a mess!

[exboyfil]

10. 61 as well and terminated in August

Fortunately I found another local job with insurance as good (better in some ways). My wife has diabetes. I never made it onto ACA (COBRA for ten weeks). Thanks to WARN I had 8 weeks of COBRA and salary paid by my prior employer. Both ACA and WARN are likely gone.

13. What then? Those who can't afford medical care suffer and die

I have MS. I can't work anymore, and the healthcare I presently have was obtained through my job. My home state's medical insurance may be able to pick up some of the cost, but MRIs and prescriptions are expensive.

I was looking for a suitable ACA plan but soon that won't be an option. When my healthcare becomes untenable, I'll just haul my sorry ass to DC and sit on the steps to the capitol. When I pass, they can peel my stinking twitching corpse off the pavement with a spatula and feed it to the furnaces, which will doubtless already be doing a brisk business.
