The number of Americans without health insurance would more than double if Congress repealed the Affordable Care Act.

That's according to a study by the nonpartisan Urban Institute looking at the consequences of repealing the health care law with no immediate replacement. More than 400,000 of those people losing coverage in that scenario would be Wisconsinites.

Wisconsin Council on Children and Families' research director Jon Peacock said he is skeptical Congress could put a replacement together in time to avoid at least a temporary loss of coverage for thousands.

"There could be dire consequences where you set repeal in motion but don't have a replacement plan ready," Peacock said. "Why do that? We ought to wait until we actually see that replacement plan and know that it could work."

He said legislators owe it to the thousands of people who would be affected to make sure a backup plan is in place................................................

1. The question is?

How many for those 400,000 voted for Trump and the Republicans?


Those that did vote for Trump, I have nothing for them...they hated Clinton more then they loved their own families, or they were just suckered into buying some snake oil!

2. So the white Wisconsin residents who backed Trump will receive what they wanted?

Who will they blame at that point?
