GOP releases healthcare plan; actual plan not included

Most people in the U.S. fall into one of these categories and have personally experienced the shortcomings of our current system. Even before the severe recession, an estimated 116 million working-age adults—two-thirds of all adults—reported they were uninsured or underinsured, had medical bill or debt problems, or experienced difficulties obtaining needed care. The beneficiaries of reforms that ensure affordable health insurance and access to high-quality care would include:

• 46 million who were uninsured at the start of the recession, and 55 million who were uninsured at some point during the past year;
• 25 million working-age adults who are underinsured;
• 72 million working-age adults who have difficulty paying medical bills;
• 49 million small business employees who now pay higher premiums than employees in larger businesses;
• 4 million adults under age 65 with individual coverage whose premiums go toward high overhead costs, leaving less room for benefits;
• one-third of insured people who change plans frequently, often not by choice;
• 46 percent of workers with employer coverage who do not have a choice of plans;
• Medicaid beneficiaries, who would have expanded choices and better access to care if Medicaid provider payments were increased;
• women, who as a group carry greater financial burdens from health care expenses;
• 13 million young adults without coverage;
• older adults and early retirees, who have few affordable insurance options;
• 2 million disabled individuals in the waiting period for Medicare coverage;
• any Medicare beneficiary who now pays high hospital deductibles or high premiums for supplemental coverage; and
• 37 million adults and 10 million children who lack easy access to a regular source of care.

A good explanation of the uninsured:

I think Larry Elder suffers from willful ignorance.
