This new "Nohealthcare" bill, the DTPSPA is way worse than the previous one, which means that the Vicious Right will no doubt support it strongly.
By making health insurance inaccessible to all but the upper middle class and beyond, poor people and people with any sort of pre-existing condition at all, from high cholesterol levels to toenail fungus will be priced right out of the marketplace.
