you said lack of insurance then lack of medical care.Angus I'ts not getting repealed Repub congress have weak knees,,,can't replace or repeal obama care
The point is that hundreds of thousand of people will not die if Obamacare were to be repealed.
The point is that millions of people will lose their health insurance if Obamacare is repealed. And some of those people will die for lack of insurance.
Plenty of people chose to pay the mandate and not take insurance.
Plenty of people chose insurance just to avoid the mandate.
Who, specifically, will be prevented from buying health insurance and specifically why?
The straw man argument that people will die if Obama is repealed is simply idiotic.
So- I want to get this straight- you are saying that if people don't have health insurance- that no one will die from lack of medical care?
While it is true that those without insurance they have acquired through the various ACA provisions(pre-existing conditions, children under their parents insurance, Medicaid, insurance through the exchanges) will be able to go to Emergency rooms and get emergency treatment- and push the cost of their care onto taxpayers that way- those with long term life threatening conditions will not be able to get free surgeries.
To answer your question- I didn't say that people would be 'prevented' from buying health insurance- but if the ACA were completely repealed then people with pre-existing conditions will once again be virtually unable to buy any health insurance.
Those who acquired health insurance through the medicaid expansion will be where they were before- without health insurance of any kind.
Here’s how many people could die every year if Obamacare is repealed
Nearly 36,000 people could die every year, year after year, if the incoming president signs legislation repealing the Affordable Care Act.
This figure is based on new data from the Urban Institute examining how many people will become uninsured if the law is repealed, as well as a study of mortality rates both before and after the state of Massachusetts enacted health reforms similar to Obamacare.
In fairness, 36,000 is a high estimate of the number of deaths that will result if Obamacare is repealed, as there is some uncertainty about how congressional Republicans will repeal the law. Even in the best case scenario, however, a wholesale repeal of Obamacare may cause about 27,000 people to die every year who otherwise would have lived.
so not the same.
no insurance equates to no healthcare = same reason for death
your stupid ass needs to get out more
