Reply #14: The uninsured and uninsurable are really the core issue

[starroute]

My best understanding is that the GOP proposals, such as they are, might modestly decrease the cost of health insurance for people who currently have health insurance -- but will do nothing at all for those who don't.

So that's what we're really fighting over at this point.

There are certainly other issues, such as the skyrocketing costs of premiums and the devastating impact on small businesses. But that's more diffuse and abstract.

The question the Republicans need to be asked over and over is, "What will your plan do for the people who don't have insurance and can't get insurance?" And I don't believe they have any answer.
