Holy shit.

Watch what happens. People will drop healthcare, we'll have less insured then before, and the same exact fucking problems - high costs.

This is batshit crazy.
No, The annual gross heathcare insurance policy cost will increase 50% to 250%.
what would happen if many people drop or are refused insurance? Hospitals would lose money on unpaid and charitable care rendered and have to further increase their rates to the insured and those that can pay. This will trigger a severe healthcare cost inflation spiral. 20%+ per year. Employers that offer insurance will also see their prices rise sharply.

This is why this is a strawman. The Republicans will not have 100% support in their own party and 0% support from the Democrats. The bill is probably DOA in its first 'Ryan' incarnation.
