Who to trust with health care, doctors and nurses or Paul Ryan?

The American Nurses Association has denounced the Republican House plan to repeal and replace Obamacare, saying it “does not improve care for the American people.” The ANA is the largest organization of health care professionals in the United States with a record of being vocal about health care issues.

House Speaker Paul Ryan
They joined the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association, the nation’s largest doctors group, which have also come out against the GOP plan.

In addition, the AARP strongly opposes it because it would hurt senior citizens – the people who need it most – and a recent Monmouth University poll shows that even a majority of average Americans want to keep the Affordable Care Act in some manner.

Results of the poll show that 51% of those surveyed said they would prefer to keep and improve the ACA and another 7% said they wanted to keep the health care law as is.

Comparatively, only 31% of people wanted ACA repealed with a replacement and another 8% wanted the law repealed without a replacement.

So let’s recap:

Pro – wealthy Republican legislators who get free health insurance for themselves.

Con – doctors, nurses, hospitals, senior citizens and a majority of voters.

Pro – politicians who represent lobbyists and rich donors instead of the people who elected them.

Con – non-partisan organizations that represent the very health care industry you’re allegedly trying to “fix” and the people (as in “voters”) who use those services.

Pro?

Con?

What’s wrong with this picture?
