Or, as dipsh*ts and libturds would say "15 MILLION PEOPLE WOULD LOSE COVERAGE!"

I'm betting it's far more than that. Not that they wouldn't purchase insurance, but they wouldn't purchase QUALIFYING insurance.

O-Care has introduced all sorts of people to the usefulness of 'high deductible' plans for ensuring against catastrophic loss... only now they would understand what it was they were buying/being sold... and not 'universal care'.

I know a lot of people that wouldn't.

Here in Alabama the average family now has what equates to two mortgage payments--their mortgage and their health insurance premiums.

And the policy more than likely comes with a high copay and deductible.
