I get tired of Democrats comparing apples to oranges.
The new healthcare plan is not mandatory with penalties if citizens don’t buy insurance. So yes, there could be more uninsured to begin with. However, freedom to buy across state lines and tort reform and no mandatory coverage like birth control pills will let insurers create plans that are a lot cheaper. All incentives to stimulate competition.
Texas claims they lowered insurance costs something like 60-70% because of tort reform and they have more doctors moving there. Which means insurance isn’t the real benefit, it’s healthcare by physicians and hospitals, etc.
It's so bad in South Florida that when OBGYN doctors started getting bills for 200k for malpractice insurance we started seeing signs in doctors offices that read,"sue me if you want but we don't have malpractice insurance."
These were legit,caring doctors who just could not pay 200,000 per year for malpractice insurance. So they told the insurance companies to go pound sand got a lawyer for their affairs and dumped the insurance companies. Seems to have worked.
But the basic problem in dealing with dems is that they have no option to exist other than to lie or stretch the truth and they never stop.
