Will they simply be pushed out into the street if they have nowhere to go and have no way of paying because their social security won’t cover the full cost?
For the ones who may have one relative who can care for them but needs to earn a living. Will they be charged for neglect if they have to work to afford their mortgage but can’t afford someone to come and care for the person and the elderly person harms themself because they are alone?

YUP !
Trump will send them to the street !
I understanding is that they want to rollback recent expansions which means mostly healthcare insurance for those just above the poverty line (around 20 million) Anyone know where the line is these days?
@kruger_d Republicans keep pushing the idea that there are 880 billion dollars in waste in health services but in the same breath say waste can be eliminated. How, unless you are cutting something you might consider waste but is necessary to someones health. They claim they won’t cut Medicaid but are going after Medicare and ACA. ACA covers 44 million people who won’t be able to find affordable health care and then 67 million on medicare and Medicaid. Also cutting back on the other two would mean Medcaid would have to pick up the slack. We are talking about a good chunk of our nation. About 37 million live below the poverty line. These are people who can barely afford food or rent but are expected to be able to pay for regular insurance? With the increase of cost of living that 20 million you mention above the poverty line will fall under it.
