"Healthcare" was the unmitigated disaster.
The healthcare bill that I guarantee no one who voted for completely understands (they couldn't possibly given the "pass it yesterday!" time frame) is a trojan horse for single payer.
It's a massive cluster*******, and will hurt healthcare delivery, and providers. It does nothing to solve the problem in the US which is NOT people uncovered. The real problem is COST (and in flyover states, lack of docs and nurses). This bill will increase costs for people that actually pay for healthcare (the insured). Will, not might. Why? Adding medicaid patients (tens of millions) costs providers money out of pocket. They must get rate increases from the insured, or be unable to stay in business. They'll also do everything possible to avoid seeing medicaid. Sadly, specialists who need to work in hospitals (surgeons) cannot avoid medicaid since they get those deadbeats when they are on call (they're not all deadbeats, but the % of medicaid deadbeats is way higher than non-medicaid).
