yes initially there may be a kind of stampede, but it's only because of the severe inequality that has been evident in American healthcare for decades

I really should write an OP about it. I cannot believe the cold and heartless arguments I have been reading on Facebook the last 2 days. Heaven forbid high-income folks should actually pay taxes ... and caring for the poor is certainly only appropriate for an hour of talk (no action) at church on Sunday. Other than that they'd just as soon see people starve in the street ... I am about at the end of my rope with these people.

....maybe we should make higher education more affordable so that the young people who want to cure the sick can do so.

We need more nurses, doctors, nurse practitioners, specialists, etc., etc., etc...

Wait...we need to hire more people? OH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

We should let the brown people die so that we decent, God-loving white people don't have to wait more than three People Magazine articles to see a doctor.

Alarmist headline, when compared to the text of the story. And it's still all speculation.
