States warn millions could lose coverage under ObamaCare replacement
By Reid Wilson - 03/09/17 04:19 PM EST

Democratic and Republican officials outside of Washington are warning Congress that millions will lose healthcare coverage if the House GOP’s proposal to replace ObamaCare becomes law.

Almost all governors and state executive officers who object to the replacement hail from states that opted to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid under ObamaCare. The Republican replacement would roll back funding for the Medicaid expansion, forcing states to either shoulder the billions of dollars in costs themselves or drop new Medicaid recipients from the rolls.

Of course they are worried...they'll suddenly have to suffer the consequences of going along with a Liberal Ponzi scheme.

They will have to find ways to replace the free Obama money they so greedily took.

As someone who is beginning his second year without a policy due to ACA I'm having a real hard time ginning up sympathy for those who 'may lose coverage'.

And not all of those ""millions"" supposedly losing coverage will be needing to use that coverage, I'm betting.  I went for years and years paying health insurance premiums before actually having to go to a doctor.  They're making it sound like a disaster when it's not.  Set up a "disaster" fund for anyone that really does need the healthcare during the period they are not covered.  That would include serious injury resulting from an accident or unintentional event.  For anything else (headache, diet pills, etc.) they can go to a damned clinic and pay up front like most folks that have gone without health insurance have done for decades.
