GOP Healtcare Bill

is simply awful in my opinion, and I hope it will be defeated before it gets very far. It seems to me that the main argument I have heard from Republicans in favor of this bill, is that insurance providers are leaving the marketplace in droves, because they can't afford to stay in it. To that argument I would say ...Let them leave! I have called my congressional representatives and suggested to them that they propose a bill which says that if any county in our country is left without viable insurance providers, those people should be free to buy into Medicare if adults and Medicaid if children. The insurance conglomerates then, by their own actions, would bring us closer to universal coverage.

If they can't make their product affordable, they deserve to fold
