The Problem Is That The GOP Health Plan Is A Death Panel

The GOP wants to actually end employer based health care by ending subsidies. They want to issue a voucher to every American to buy health care on the open market even across state lines with NO restrictions on insurers. That means denial for pre existing conditions, unlimited co pays, cancellation of insurance, life time and illness caps, and no restrictions on cost of premiums or drugs.
They also want to include all seniors who are already on Medicare plus means testing for Medicare and Social Security.

That would leave just about every American with no health care or premiums they can't pay by 40 because just about every citizen has had or will have some pre existing condition or illness by 40.

So if Americans do not like the Affordable Care Act they certainly will not like the GOP plan. They won't talk about their plan because no one will really want it and they want to spring it on the populace without warning.

The amount we pay for the results we get are inferior to the rest of the developed world and as long as we make it ridiculously expensive we won't cover everyone adequately. The costs are the death panel.
