OK, so we cut millions of Americans off of Medicaid. Then what?

These folks will still be getting sick and need medical care.

Hospitals and doctors, following the law and Hippocratic Oath, will still accept and treat indigent patients, at least in emergency situations.

Which brings up the question: Who is going to pay for these services?

Answer: The people who have insurance, of course.

Hospitals and doctors will raise their rates to recoup the losses from treating nonpaying patients and charge those rates to the insurance companies.

This leaves the insurance companies no choice but to raise the rates on their paying customers.

So when our healthcare premiums go through the roof, we can thank the Republicans.

Same thing will happen with FEMA cuts and auto and homeowner's insurance.

I haven't heard Democrats frame it this way, but I believe they should.
