9. I have been wondering what is going to happen

Oct 2020

When these bills start coming in. You know they have to be outrageous even with insurance. How are people supposed to pay? What if they don’t even have insurance? Probably don’t have jobs now either. how are the insurance companies going to pay the claims? they will pass the cost on to others in the form of much higher premiums. I have been asking myself these questions from the beginning of this nightmare and no one seems to know the answer. I have not heard anyone, not trump or Biden, even mention the fallout of this pandemic. To add to the equation, what happens when/if we lose the ACA? We will only have a chance of coming out of this if Biden is elected. I cannot even begin to think about the alternative.
