THIS WEEK, REPUBLICANS took the first step toward dismantling the Affordable Care Act: the Senate passed a budget resolution that says the best way to take a chunk out of the federal budget deficit is to defund Obamacare. The measure is set to come to a vote in the House today, and chances are it will pass there, too—even though the GOP has no clear replacement plan lined up. Which is not an ideal situation for health insurance recipients, or insurers themselves.
Here’s why. Obamacare has plenty of critics, but scrapping it in its entirety is rash and will benefit few—particularly not the over 20 million people who didn’t have healthcare coverage before it was enacted. But what seems to be in the process of happening now—-cutting off the programs’ money without changing the underlying regulations—is kind of even worse. For all the talk of how they’d benefit from a truly free market, not even health insurance companies make out well on this one. No business likes an unstable market, and Republican lawmakers are in the process of creating just that: a sudden lack of subsidies could cause some healthy customers to opt out, leading to an insurance landscape flooded with (high-risk) sick people staggering under the burden of increased premiums. Advantage, nobody.
