Ironically, The ACA's initial proposal by Republicans was due in part to uninsured people showing up in emergency rooms, and driving up the costs for paying patients as hospitals strove to cover their costs.

Cut 10,000,000 Americans off of Medicaid and make coverage harder to get and more expensive thanks to doing away with subsidies with the Big Beautiful Bill.
So much for being "pro-life," eh? (Not to mention ending USAID. Millions of children will starve over time thanks to the tax cutting/anti-life Republicans.

If you want your doctor you can keep your doctor. $2500/yr cut in the cost of a typical family's premium.
These were the promises.
Why would it block physicans from opening up hospitals? Why would it keep Certificate-of-Need (CON) laws?
more expensive thanks to doing away with subsidies with the Big Beautiful Bill.
Its still going on the credit card. FFS.
You can't sit there and blame the American taxpayer to keep paying, for a bill that is making insurance companies rich.
Luigi didn't happen in a vacuum.

You're correct. Who knew that Republicans would spend more than a decade undermining the ACA at every turn, instead of doing anything to actually improve healthcare?
We should of passed universal healthcare (or at least a single-payer option). Too bad the cronyist GOP would never let that happen. Which reminds me.. where is that plan to fix healthcare that Republicans/Trump have been promising every month for at least 15 years?

You mean like this ...
Candidate Trump on healthcare ...
May 21, 2015 I'm not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.
Sept 25, 2015 Everybody's got to be covered.
Feb 17, 2016 We're going to have great plans. They're going to be much less expensive and they're going to be much better.
Oct 25, 2016 You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it is going to be so easy.
Nov 13, 2016 It will be better healthcare, much better for less money. Not a bad combination.

Israel has it.
And so will the country of "rapists and murderers" in 2027, like all of Canada today.
