Health Care Will Be Like Cable TV. Higher Prices For Each New Coverage. Some Diseases Not Covered [View all]

When you carry out the logic of the GOP bill it will hurt everyone who has insurance. Even people now who believe they are safely insured will become grossly under insure. They will also lose guaranteed health care. Insurance plan will turn into ALA CARTE plans where you have to pick and choose.

Employers will also face picking coverage packages. Workers will have to get a dossier of employers' plans and what they cover before they take the job. What if their plan does not cover cancer, heart disease, neurological disease, hospital care.

Look at it like cable with multiple plans. There will be premium coverages that only the rich can afford. There will be a list of diseases that will be covered for extras money. There may be separate plans for emergency room or hospitalization or specialist care.
