(29,204 posts)that there are more people, healthy people, who do not get health insurance through their work, and who will pay lower premiums with the AHCA than there are people who will be shunted to the high risk pools (who currently have ACA insurance).
And I should say voters... not people.
I think they are wrong... and wrong about how people NOT in the ACA will vote and how many will be outraged enough to remove the GOP for all levels of government.

Different students at a higher level, but they all worked for the community, and in turn received much needed experience...
I am not sure how it works today?

(51,591 posts)and a cancer patient has to pay $150,000 additionally annually as pre-existing conditions? How do Rebubs justify this?! They should be drawn and quartered (actually that is too kind a punishment in my opinion).
