What that means, of course, is that, as before Obamacare, lots of older people will just not buy insurance, even though they need it.
If GOP plan is enacted, a 64-year-old who earns $20K a year would have to pay, literally, almost 50% of his income for insurance.

@MissCarol2U@chrisnoeth2@JamesSurowiecki And don't forget 64 yr olds w/dementia that simply voted as caregivers wished.
