it's the sheer magnitude of ethical destruction of reducing the number of healthy people for no valuable reason

there are people who receive medication costing upwards of $1000 a month completely free under the ACA. if the ACA was repealed and they were no longer covered, they would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars a year simply to stay alive. most people do not have that kind of money lying around and the obvious result is that many people would fail to receive treatment and die of their illnesses.

you are hoping for poor people to die so you can save money on taxes. there is no way around that fact. it's selfish.

i would imagine a good deal of people on the poorer side that suddenly lose the coverage they need would suddenly be pretty screwed financially, or if it's not a dire need to have whatever medication they need it would just be a pain in the ass and generally unhealthy

Oh dude can you loving not? No one is HOPING for people to die, what we're hoping for is to not get taxed up the ass to pay for other people's health conditions. It's not rocket science. If they die as a result of us paying taxes that's not our fault. Really sick and tired of people trying to browbeat those who don't want Obamacare by saying we want people drop dead on the street, I mean honestly who the forget even thinks like that

Exactly this. Stop acting like people are just gonna suddenly DIE if Obamacare get's repealed, that's not how reality works. You guys realize how massaged the numbers are on the amount of people who would really lose healthcare? There's millions of people who don't even want the insurance they have but it's either that or pay Obamacare's bullstuff mandate tax.

so...you think that having healthcare with worse coverage wouldn't do any harm to people...?
