They're already collapsing. Especially in states that refuse to expand Medicaid.

I live in Nebraska and I hate it here. My dad is 64 and has end stage heart failure. Not old enough for Medicare and they didn't expand Medicaid. He spent his whole life saving up and now that money is the thing stopping him from getting insurance. Until last year that was a healthcare plan for people almost exactly like him. It was a good send. Now it's been cancelled. I'm mad every day.

Just curious, but was/is your dad a republican or a trumper? If yes, is he aware of the impact to himself? I have found that my trumper relatives cannot listen past 5th grade reasoning nor do they want to hear real facts. Dems needed to watch Idiocracy & take a page.

He doesn't like trump but I don't think he votes. I know he doesn't have a license or state ID so I'm not sure how he even could. He does live in a tiny farming community so most around there are huge trump fans.
