70 Million Would Lose All Health Care. GOP Model Is Like Hemlock.

Medicaid will fully sunset by 2020 under GOP plan. Their prescription is an end to health care for 70 million Americans plus the 20 million who will lost their care. Plus several million workers who do not need ACA will also lose their coverage because their present policies will be severely downgraded in the end. Besides that most states will not be able to run the program because the block grants will not be enough to even run a program most likely.

Forget long term care. The expense of caring for a loved one will go to the families. The only other option is for families to provide 24/7 long term care in their homes if they have one.

HSA's are also useless because they will not cover much and the tax advantage will be meaningless in the end. IT IS ALL A SCAM.
