Stuff will come out that will make your hair fall out.

I'd say the death of Obamacare as we know it will effect the most people immediately. Insurance companies, without the base of healthy young people who are only buying insurance because of the mandate, will increase rates and the required subsidies will force others off and that will be the end of affordable health insurance. The rate increases will affect all, even those getting insurance through their employers. On the bright side, it may bring Sander's Medicare for all into the spotlight as people look for the solution.

Many will die without care during the 10 years it will take to turn the country back to the Democrats and get the changes we need.
