State budget cuts hit small-town Ohio: "Residents in Uniopolis wanted a balanced budget, and voted in Republican Gov. John Kasich to get the job done. But now the village is facing disincorporation because it can't stay afloat.
Reporting from Uniopolis, Ohio—
Residents here were all for balancing Ohio's budget. They didn't expect that to mean their town would cease to exist.
This small village of low-slung houses and squeaky swing sets in western Ohio's farm country has already laid off its part-time police officer and decided not to replace its maintenance worker, who recently retired. To save cash, Mayor William Rolston will propose Monday that the town turn off the street lights, and that Uniopolis disincorporate after more than a century in existence...."
"If the United States is supposed to uphold "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" how can a sick or dying person without health care have these rights."

"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional."

Study: 44 million Could Lose Medicaid Coverage Under GOP Plan
Study: 44 million Could Lose Medicaid Coverage Under GOP Plan - LA Times
If this actually happened we'd have almost 80-100 million people in the US without insurance. Which means more people dieing when it could of been prevented and costing tax payers more in the long run. And it would also clog the ERs at hospitals. How about cutting the GOPs health insurance and seeing how they like it.
