If Republicans through their judicial machinations got ACA overturned, how many people would lose coverage and not get medications they need?

Are you on medications that you cannot just come off of? Can you afford the medications you are on? I imagine this will really affect those who need insulin and those who need anti-psychotics. If you just come off anti-psychotics cold turkey, you can become suicidal. 

Do you know anyone on medications they cannot come off of? What about upcoming critical surgeries that could need to be canceled? 

Take Care, With Love Through God and Jesus and The Holy Ghost, 

Update:

I have no respect for Republican responses; I rather hear from people actually on ACA and will be impacted. 

Republicans' ability to spin any scenario into a perfect outcome for them is unprofitable to the reality of the situation. To think that the millions on ACA that couldn't afford it before will suddenly find new coverage of the same caliber is insulting. 

Update 2:

There was a study that showed that people died less after ACA, yet in states that didn't do ACA had the same death tolls as before. I'm tired of Republicans ruled by speculation and presumptions that most of the people on ACA abused it and went to emergency visits for "headaches"; Republicans never cease to amaze me. If there were an option to censor all Republicans from a question, I would use it.

    Trump has said that he would replace Obamacare with a much better plan that still covers pre-existing conditions, assuming he is still in office.

    If Biden is in office, a new "Bidencare" will likely be passed. 

    If worse comes to worse, individual states could initiate their own healthcare, not unlike Massachusetts with its "Romnicare". 

    Nationally:

    --The ~65million on Medicaid would not be affected.

    --The ~45million on Medicare would not be affected. 

    --The ~165million on private employer healthcare plans would probably not be affected. 

    --The ~30miilion uninsured would probably not be affected, and would likely remain uninsured. 

    P.S. If you only want to hear from people who agree with you, then why even come on this site? Your attitude is closed minded and childish, in my opinion.

    None. The Democrats would finally be forced back to the table to draft a bipartisan bill. The ACA was rammed through without the support of Republicans.

    Not a single one.  Just like before Obamanation care, people who needed medical attention got it.  The just didn't show up at emergency rooms multiple times per week for a headache.  Life and death stuff was always and will always be dealt with.

    Ah, fear-mongering scenarios of disasters which will never occur.  How unilluminating.

    But I wager it will keep the Democrat sheep in a state of agitation.

    No one would lose coverage 

    In fact millions would be able to regain the coverage lost due to Obamacare
