1,700,000,000,000 medical bill

A new report finds there would be a huge spike in the cost of care sought by people who can't afford to pay for it if Obamacare is partially repealed by Congress.

The Urban Institute report found that the cost of so-called uncompensated care sought from hospitals and doctors would equal $1.7 trillion over a decade — $1.1 trillion more than if the Affordable Care Act was kept in place.
