An article that I saw on Twitter says that Rich Americans live 15 years longer than poorer Americans. Is any one really surprised by that? Whatever the Congressional Republicans prepose for THEIR healthcare plan will definately cause the poor to die sooner and the rich to live longer.

@responder ~That's the point, the wealthy can afford better care. What I find troubling is the Republican Healthcare plan will take healthcare insurance away from thousands of middle class and poor Americans. Eliminating protections like the Pre-Existing Conditions clause that was written into the A.C.A. (Obamacare) will make it impossible for people who are already ill from getting healthcare insurance if they lose their current coverage. The elimination of caps on coverage is also a major demand among conservative Republicans. What we need is to get the corrupt Insurance Industry out of the equation. We need the plan that Senator Bernie Sanders is proposing, basically medicare for everyone. The main objective of the Republican Healthcare plan is not healthcare at all! It's primarily a tax cut for the wealthy. The Republicans in Congress don't care about the average American. Their proposal is nothing short of targetted genocide against anyone who is not a billionaire.

Personally the way the Doctors are so limited into how they want to help someone I feel like the Healthcare we have now is way worse than what it was before. I want good Healthcare back to where people really mattered instead of being a number, or based on what Healthcare you have depends on the type of Healthcare you can get.
