There’s a simple one word answer

Die.

That’s the cruel reality.

An exchange via Twitter with Representative Elijah Haahr (r) on the subject of the Affordable Care Act case before the U.S. Supreme Court:

Elijah Haahr ‏@elijahhaahr

For legal nerds w no time, @BenchMemos summarizes the amicus briefs filed in #KingvBurwell including shout outs to @jadler1969 & @HawleyMO 8:24 AM – 2 Mar 2015

Taunia ‏@TauniaAdams

.@elijahhaahr What do you suggest Missourians on chemo do if they lose HC coverage b/c of #KingvBurwell ? #moleg http://bit.ly/1Gbpils 9:27 AM – 2 Mar 2015

Elijah Haahr ‏@elijahhaahr

@TauniaAdams Since the question of coverage is not before the court, perhaps you could stop scaring people with false rhetoric. 9:40 AM – 2 Mar 2015

Is that an assertion that people won’t lose their coverage due to a lack of affordability? It’s called the Affordable Care Act for a reason.

.@elijahhaahr “If she can no longer get that subsidy..” she can’t afford coverage. Suggestion? #KingvBurwell #moleg [….] 10:03 AM – 2 Mar 2015

Elijah Haahr ‏@elijahhaahr

.@TauniaAdams Yes. Tell her to lobby Congress & @BarackObama to repeal #Obamacare – a law that has to be read wrongly for her to use it. 10:08 AM – 2 Mar 2015

That “read wrongly” part has yet to be determined. Uh, and with repeal of the ACA what replaces it? Preexisting condition exclusions? Just asking.

Taunia ‏@TauniaAdams

.@elijahhaahr Asking again: what’s your plan for Missourians who lose healthcare coverage if #KingvBurwell sustained? #moleg 10:22 AM – 2 Mar 2015

Elijah Haahr ‏@elijahhaahr

@TauniaAdams Repeal Obamacare and create a system that works without needing the IRS to break the law for it to be effective. 10:25 AM – 2 Mar 2015

What a tool.

Replace it with single payer? Right.

Would that new system the republicans are thinking about include a prohibition of denial of coverage for preexisting conditions, a prohibition of rescission of coverage, eliminate lifetime coverage limits, regulate annual insurance limits, and allow young adults to stay on their parents’ coverage until age 26? Oh, wait.

Taunia ‏@TauniaAdams

.@elijahhaahr Repeal #ACA, replace w/ non-existing GOP HC plan; about 2/3 years. What do chemo patients do during? #KingvBurwell #moleg 10:50 AM – 2 Mar 2015

There’s an answer. Die.
