"Los Angeles Times" declare : Prepare for chaos in the insurance market if the GOP's scorched-earth health bill prevails

That's because the measure, as currently written, is almost certain to destroy the individual health insurance market and Medicaid. Nor will other health insurance markets be immune from damage, although the scale of the wreckage is harder to gauge. Under the ACA, all health plans must cover hospitalization, prescription drugs, mental health and substance addiction treatment and outpatient treatment, among other things. But the impact of the change will fall very unevenly, and will produce crummier insurance coverage for almost everyone. Bagley says this portends wholesale abandonment of the individual market by insurance companies, at least temporarily.


as mentioned in The same thing could happen on the GOP health bill, a veteran member told CNBC on Thursday — only bigger. When some of them go the White House before the vote, House leaders fear they will demand even more than the end of essential health benefits. In a swirl of uncertainty, Republican members stampeded to "no," defeated the measure and watched the Dow tumble by more than 700 points. Republicans need to hold 215 of their 237 House votes to pass the American Health Care Act. As they scramble for "yes" votes on their health-care plan, House GOP leaders have a nightmare scenario in mind.
