If this goes through, it won't take effect until 2020 and I honestly believe that they'll start to extend it 6 months at a time by then because after 11 years they won't have any more of an alternative than they do now after wasting 7 years on fruitless repeals with no replacement in sight.
What it will do immediately is create a lot of uncertainty among providers, from kids considering med and nursing school on through nursing homes and hospitals. Many will close because of it and with fewer applicants, some schools might shut down their medical programs. It will create an artificial shortage of resources while facilities sit empty and unused.
