1. The fallout goes past the individuals, it also extends to the providers.

Small hospitals were failing at an alarming rate before the ACA; then it stabilized. Those unpaid ER visits were mostly gone and small hospitals no longer had than burden. When those hospitals close, the healthcare providers (doctors and such) will leave too. So it is not just a death sentence to those without insurance, but also to those that have insurance but can't afford to drive 100 miles to see a doctor.
