2. No one talks about hospitals, but ACA has stabilized many rural and urban hospitals

that had high emergency room rates. I suspect that rural medical care in our country will close down. The hospitals will not be able to sustain themselves without the guaranteed funds from the ACA. Rural folks are going to have to travel to mid major cities to receive care.

Because fewer people will be participating in health care, I suspect that rates are going to change. Those with health care through their employment will have to pick up the costs. I can't imagine that the employers can absorb the major rate changes.

We're going to find out that unintended consequences will carry a big price tag.
