The over all revenue losses with repeal and diminished block grants could not offset those losses. States would bankrupt in the end. ER services would be overwhelmed by the uninsured with medical emergencies and drop in with no coverage.

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