New GOP Bill Will Result In Ala Carte Health Insurance. Will Have Go Pick What Is & Is Not Covered.

Based on what is in the new GOP bill families will have to decide on what is and is not covered ala carte. Will you leave out hospitalization, emergency care, drugs, transfusions, surgery et al. How much deductible will you have to choose. What illnesses will you have to leave off coverage.

And if you are a senior you can buy a burial plan. If you are disabled you might have to give up your prosthetic or rehab.
