Death Spiral

NY Times: The G.O.P.’s Health Care Death Spiral By J. B. SILVERS
By April, when filings from insurance company plans and premiums for 2018 are due, there will be a sizable exit — of insurers running away from the greatly increased and unpredictable risk and of individuals not able to afford insurance without the subsidies.

The GOP / Trumpf simply don't give a crap about poor and sick people having Health Insurance. I hear the rant all over the internet by the Trumpanzees. They all are barking about let em all go back to the ER if they're sick. Of course, these idiots don't understand that when people use the ER for their primary care it's when they're too sick and poor to do anything else and then the care provided is 5X what it would cost otherwise on top of the rest of us pay for this care in the rate and through increased taxes. They don't care until it's them or their family that finds themselves in this lurch then it's different. The selfishness and the meanness of these people is pathetic.

I think GOPers have more empathy for one another than for anyone who falls outside of that tribe, up to a point. Beyond the point then there's a fight within. It's tribal. GOPers fall in line.
