If It Does Get Repealed

Even folks not on the ACA can get hurt if the ACA is out and out repealed, as Joan McCarter on The Daily Kos notes:

[The ban on insurance caps is] probably gone with Obamacare repeal. Along with children up to age 26 being on their parents’ plans, employers with more than 50 workers having to provide insurance, free preventive care, affordable coverage regardless of whether you have a pre-existing condition, and seniors saving billions on prescription drugs. All in jeopardy now. “We view everything as being threatened right now,” said Kathy Waligora, director of the health reform initiative of EverThrive Illinois. That’s for the 156 million Americans who have employer coverage as of last year.

I was chatting with a Mayo Clinic programmer yesterday and he said Mayo’s executive team is not happy with the ACA, primarily because of Medicare reimbursements shrinking. I don’t know if that’s an official position or just scuttlebutt.
