Opinion
The Halfhearted Opposition to the G.O.P.’s Health Care Misery
The lobbying groups for doctors, hospitals and many others oppose the Republican health care bill. But they’re being far too timid about it.In my least forgiving moments I have thought the Republican bill should become the law of the land.
about twenty million poor people and working elderly will be at risk of death.
The insurance companies will expire.
Hospital bills will go unpaid. Most of the hospitals will close.
All doctors and nurses will not make a living.
Medical schools will close or shrink.
Health care has become a significant fraction of the economy.
The economy takes a major hit.
