if there's a large enough population of these non-paying customers you'll really start
After that there is also the issue of lower provider reimbursements associated with obamacare policies.
In other words, for physicians it doesn't matter a whole bunch.
Just FYI.

Exactly. So why hasn't it been repealed (as promised) yet?

I'm fine with single payer as long as they don't outlaw paying cash for uncovered or waitlisted procedures if you want.

Because once you give someone free shite, you never see it taken back. I think the Rebubs like all those taxes and blaming the Dems for the even shitier Obamacare. Once they design a plan, they know it's their arse. The best plan is a clean repeal, end of story! Anything less, and it's pretty much going to be a disaster for them...

this along the increase in drug prices really puts a squeeze on shite from time to time...

do you own your own practice, by chance?

i'm gonna assume you mean on the "paycheck" side of things, for yourself, that it doesn't matter a whole bunch...

I am fine with single payer as long as the rich can thumb their noses at the death panels and buy heart lung replacements for their 87th birthday.

I really just want a public option government offers to all citizens. then you let insurance compete on a more wide open field in the additional or premium space.

Repeal and Replace isn't repeal.
I want a FULL repeal. That is what I voted for. Repeal the whole gawd damn thing and start over. I'm behind no bill in which government is still involved in doing nothing but F us over even further. They can't fix it, so get the freak out of the way and let it fix itself. If the free-market can't fix it then so be it.
Our healthcare system will pop in 10 years anyhow. In some places it truly already has. The care is so horrible you are better off buying some weed from a seller and smoking away your problems.

Define "Trump's DOJ."
Is it also "Trump's CIA" and "Trump's NSA" and "Trump's FBI"
I don't think so.

i sure hope those that drop their coverage voluntarily have a ton of money to pay their own way for their bumps and bruises, or god forbid, chronic disease state... hope they don't NOT pay, which only shifts their costs onto those who do have insurance and pay their hospital bills (which only furthers the exorbitant health care costs, in this never ending cycle)...
What the hell do you think was happening BEFORE the obamacare shite sandwich? I have extremely good employer provided insurances (health, dental, vision, etc.) and even that was affected by those "with no health insurance" prior to that crap. Only then it was miniscule compared to now.
However, it was NOT affected with the absolute bullshite mandates that are unfortunately in place now JUST so the sha'queefa, kwanzetta, kwanzell, and tre'vons of society can continue to STILL get free healthcare because they STILL do not want to work and STILL won't pay for THEIR OWN crap!
obamacare was/is nothing but another completely useless burden on productive Americans in order to drag this country into the ghettos and become another detroit, chicago, etc. it has basically doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled the costs for actual working people that have health insurance just so the dregs of society can continue to be dregs.

...IMHO is a smokescreen for something far more sinister, such as planning an all out war with N. Korea or Iran or some other rogue state.
Nothing is ever as simplistic as it seems in Washington.

If it was a true democratic election, then Hillary would be your president.
As for health care, I'm all for single payer. Eliminate the middle man. No matter how you slice it we will always have that segment of society which we prop up. Yup, the freeloaders. If we move to a complete free market we will still be paying for the freeloaders that use the emergency room for every zit and sniffle.
