[The Onerous NPR] It wasn't that long ago that the effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act died once and for all in the Senate. Or so many thought.But like the killer robot in The Terminator or the undead fighters in Game of Thrones, the repeal effort has risen once again from the ashes in the form of a bill known as Graham-Cassidy.
The bill, introduced Sept. 13 by Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., with little hope of going anywhere, has gained steam in its short life and now looks like it may actually come to a vote in the Senate in the coming days.
Many opponents say the bill will result in millions of people losing their insurance coverage.
| They do say that, yes. But since even more millions are forced under Obamacare to pay for insurance they can't afford to use, and which no doctors will accept, they'll actually be ahead both financially and in terms of actually getting needed medical care. |
