text: The current bill will drastically cut medicaid. It will also make it so that insurance companies, although they won't technically be barring people with pre-existing conditions like before the ACA, they will be able to raise their premiums drastically for those individuals, making it unaffordable, and thus unavailable. Many people will be back to that terrifying spot of not knowing whether or not they can afford the necessary treatment to survive. Many Europeans find it unfathomable that an accident or cancer diagnosis could lead to bankrupcy, whereas, sadly, in the US, that's seen as just the way things are. Pure capitalism does not mix well with healthcare, as people's quality of life, and even lives themselves, hang in the balance. Even if the new bill is trying to keep the government from intervening too much with people's healthcare or insurance, the way the transition's being handled and its current wording will impose far more control & power over people with health conditions.
