General Discussion

Hospitals are already struggling in those areas and will likely close if this bill passes. Will rural (mostly red) voters and red states be smart enough to vote blue in the midterms and in 2028 in order to get their healthcare restored? Good question. I kind of doubt it, but we'll see how much pain they're willing to take. Having to drive 2 hours to go to the doctor, only to be told they aren't taking new patients and they aren't accepting insurances that don't reimburse well (Medicaid, Medicare, United) is going to sting.

For urban areas, it's going to suck, too. I would imagine we'll see lots more practices that will greatly limit who they will take as patients. I'm guessing we may see ERs only doing the bare minimum to stabilize someone before discharging them.

It's really going to hit republicans hardest if this bill goes through.
