Just sending money to the states will throw all health care into chaos. Insurance companies will have to extremely raise rates even for people NOT on the ACA. Their premiums will go stratospheric. Sick people will flood the ER's and rural hospitals and clinics will end up closing.
This new bill ia an atomic bomb to the whole health care system. It is like torpedoing the Titanic and shooting all the survivors.

The damage to the system might be permanent. Could resolve in massive layoffs of caregivers and mass closings of rural hospitals.
