We can only hope. But it's likely that instead of just repealing Obamacare and leaving it at that, the Republicans will enact their own disaster. There is nothing the government can do with healthcare coverage that won't make things worse. You would think that Obamacare would have made that clear. But it doesn't look like it.
If the majority is simply allowed to exist in the public market-place, without the mandate, it will be better.
If Trump can find a way to cut the cost of the Medicaid end of it, that will be better also.
What a lot of us have a hard time coming to terms with, is that the government has been the provider for those unable to pay, for decades.
If we cut the cost of providing that care, it’s better than we have been doing.
I will say, that if a young to middle-aged person opted not to obtain coverage when they could have, I’d have very little sympathy if they suddenly needed care.
We all have to bite the bullet and obtain coverage. None of us are thrilled to have to make insurance payments, but it’s what responsible people do.
