Big thanks to McKinsey for letting everyone know that millions would lose healthcare under the Republican's Obamacare replacement plan. Good job cutting through the bullshit.

Of course a repeal of government subsidized health insurance means at least a temporary reduction in % with health insurance. But what matters is the cost & availability of healthcare itself, not insurance. What good is 'Obamacare' insurance with high deductibles that people can't/don't use? The more important question is what a new plan would mean for long-term cost trends - if it increases competition and reduces moral hazard, then it would be long-term good for the country. We'll see if that happens.

Millions lost "their" healthcare under ACA too.

I mean they extrapolate two slides to the entire country. There's a reason McKinsey didn't include a national calculation - there are lots of other considerations and it's likely impossible to calculate with the limited amount of information available about a republican plan

Many concepts of the free market break down in healthcare. Is it fair to ration healthcare via the price mechanism (i.e. rich people get more)? Can people compare prices for healthcare when pricing is so opaque? Do consumers have a way of understanding differences in quality without being medical experts?
