  • People will still get emergency care, even if they can’t afford it. They go bankrupt. They will forgo preventative treatment, but this is kicking the can down the road and leads to a net increase in medical costs in the long run.

    In any case, your original comment about people having more free time to protest because they don’t have to go to work to keep their insurance is nonsense. The ones getting kicked off their insurance are not the ones getting it through their employers. They are getting it through the ACA marketplace, i.e. purchasing it themselves. Even if they were losing work-subsidized health insurance, they would still have to work because other things people need cost money too. Things like food and (as you mentioned) housing.
