Good evaluation.
There has to be a grandfathering period, but 3 yrs is a bit long.
I’d guess 2 yrs from time the replacement is voted in. Probably late 2017, because there is a USSC justice to fight for and the wall legislation to fight over and lots of stuff on the plate.
Passing a termination 21 Jan with a 2-3 yr grandfather period keeps the promise and cracks the whip on getting a replacement defined.
And guys, before you stomp your feet and yell people can pay their own insurance, consider the 26 yr old construction worker with a wife and 2 kids who walks outside one day, slips on ice in his own yard and compound fractures his leg. That’s $30,000 down the tubes without insurance. This stuff isn’t solely about “getting sick”. It is also about getting hurt.
Unfortunately, we'll never be able to handle this kind of case as long as a significant portion of the population has a "right" to health care..
The 26-year-old construction worker has to decide that medical and disability insurance to protect himself and his family is more important than a new pickup truck.
