You can keep any doctor you want if you're able to pay him out of your own pocket. Under the AHCA, no one is forced to purchase insurance. Save up your pennies and pray you don't get sick! Because if you choose to remain uninsured and then throw yourself on the mercy of the taxpayers, that's just wrong. You should lose your house, your car, everything.
You don't know your own socialist programs, do you? If you want medicaid, you can't own more than 10K in assets. That means an older car, no home, etc. So, even if you spent decades being productive and paying taxes at 28%, if you have a bad year with no cash flow (income) you won't qualify for Medicaid unless you divest yourself of everything you own at 'fair market value'. The 'disposal of assets' below 'fair market value' is a Felony, if it is done to qualify for the very program one has subsidized at length.
Instead, someone who has had a severe reversal of fortune is penalized for not buying insurance, whether they needed medical
care or not--for not subsidizing the 'poor' whether or not they have any income themselves.
Had one not been stuck with a 28% tax bracket for being successful in their endeavors (but not successful enough, quite, to have their own foundation to shield assets from taxation), one might have been able to put that money away for any and all medical expenses in their lifetime--and had plenty.
Nope you are portraying the tax collectors as Robin Hood, taking from the 'rich' and 'giving' to the poor, when anyone who knows that story realizes
the people Robin Hood 'robbed' were the tax collectors. He gave some of the money back to the poor and spent the rest partying in the woods.
Y'all didn't get that story straight, either.
