        I've seen hundreds of my prior patients turned away because of pre-existing conditions before the ACA. Not one since. People will die again.

        #GOP is miss-manipulating a healthcare bill without consulting with physicians. (Or Insurers, or heath workers, or patients!) pure ideology

        Right. So how do we get the young and healthy to participate in the market? Coercion never works, only creates grey and black markets.

        As a Brit, my advice is to stop thinking of it as a market and start thinking of it as a basic human right

        You are the wealthiest group of people in the history of humanity; you can afford to do that. It's purely about priorities and attitude.

        Healthcare is a human right and not a modifiable, diagnosis-dependent, potentially-covered commodity.

        This is heartbreaking, and no parent in a wealthy country should have to think about this. I'm disgusted this is even on the table.
