Many people are making the claim that they will lose their health insurance if the 'Affordable Care Act' is repealed. Not so.
What will be lost is a third-party decision maker (the U.S. Government) initiating force against one group, to provide a subsidy to another group for the purpose of purchasing health insurance. A subsidy is what would be lost, if the 'Affordable Care Act' is repealed — that is, the ability to purchase health insurance partially at someone else's expense.
But even if this were not the case, and many people were actually going to lose a health insurance plan that they had purchased without government assistance only as a result of the 'Affordable Care Act', why should anyone have even the slightest concern, given that supporters of the 'Affordable Care Act' had no concern for those who lost health insurance plans they had purchased when the 'Affordable Care Act' was originally passsed?
Why should supporters of the 'Affordable Care Act' expect such concern, when they had no such concern themselves?
