I have healthcare I need help with my car insurance it's also required by law!!
Children’s hospitals are particularly reliant on Medicaid, since unlike adults, most low-income children in Georgia can be covered under the program. Children’s Healthcare at Hughes Spalding gets about 65 percent of its revenues from Medicaid, GPBI said.
If the Medicaid program disbursements are capped as the House legislation proposes, Metro Atlanta’s overall possible loss would be $1.6 billion, according to the analysis, released Thursday. Statewide, the study said, Georgia stands to lose about $4 billion in Medicaid cuts over 10 years under the House version, with hospitals losing an estimated $3.4 billion of that. Source: AJC

The ACA quickened the collapse of our system. The flaws are now so apparent that only the CEO's of health related companies see the US health system as sustainable.
It will change or collapse. But the well lobbied dems and repubs who have lifetime govt run health care are bought and paid for. This will not be solved until it collapses.
US healthcare is #1 in costs and #37 in health outcomes

The only difference from their demonic, inhuman congressional Republican conservajerk health care bill basically, MAYBE, is how quickly they gut medicaid. The senate republican conservajerk bill will do it a few years slower.
In other words they’ll kill people later.
Details of the Senate Health Care Bill Just Leaked. Prepare to Be Appalled.
Details of the Senate’s “draft” health care bill, which Republicans were set to unveil Thursday after weeks of secretive negotiations, have finally leaked—and from the sound of things, Mitch McConnell and his cohorts have written a morally appalling piece of legislation that many conservatives will nonetheless find deeply underwhelming

It is disgusting.
I thought "All Lives Mattered," and Trump wasn't going to cut Medicaid like those other terrible Reps.
They betrayal of all of non-rich American continues.
My family will suffer. I feel like they are coming after my children and you better damn well be sure that I will fight this. Mamma Bear ain't having none of this crapfest. Cruel little micro-hearted bastards. I've had enough.

Another extremists 'the bill will kill people' reactionary load of nonsense OP.
So says the person who lives somewhere with universal healthcare.
I’ve worked in the health service for more than 20 years and I can honestly say I’ve never known things quite like they’ve been over the past few years. People talk about cuts, but they have no idea what it’s really like at the coalface and what the reality of this means. I work in mental health, and routinely encounter suicidal people who have been turned away; the threshold for treatment is now so high they won’t actually be seen until they try to kill themselves. In eating disorders — the speciality where I work — I regularly hear of anorexic patients being turned away because they aren’t skinny enough.
A few weeks ago, I was in a meeting discussing the most high-risk patients in my service and prioritising who should be admitted. As we sat there a manager came in and casually mentioned that she had just been telephoned by NHS England; it had informed her there was not a single bed available in any eating disorder unit in the entire country. Not one. Every bed was occupied, meaning we could not admit any patients anywhere. We all looked at each other, then at the list of sick patients we were discussing, and gulped. I’ve never known things to be this bad and mine is just one tiny area of medicine. Colleagues in other parts of mental health have told me similar horror stories, of patients having to be admitted hundreds of miles from where they live. This is not unique to mental health; most hospitals operate a one-in, one-out policy.
