Perhaps you remember then when Nixon tried to put together a market based system to provide health care for everyone and Ted Kennedy opposed it saying healthcare was a Democratic issue and he wouldn't allow a Republican to take it away from them. This is what you and others are caterwailing about now, not that Trump won't be able to do it, but that it shouldn't be done by a Republican.If fact Trump has promised that no one who has coverage today will lose their coverage, and Obamacare does not cover everyone either.No, Trump has no health care plan. Period.In fact, anyone who paid attention knows a lot more, but apparently you are not interested enough in the issue to have paid attention. I can't really blame you since Clinton ran a campaign that was devoid of substance so now you think it's not necessary to understand anything about an issue to reject a plan.To be fair, Trump has laid out the details of his health plan, which is a major agenda of his campaign. As I recall, he said that it is going to be "amazing", and will cover everyone at a lower cost. What else do Trumpettes need to know?
Just to prove it, he recently tweeted that he would make sure that all Americans were covered. Then, his mop up team had to step in retract that.
If he had a plan, he would probably be able to be right about the GOALS of the plan, don't you think?
And, NOTHING congress has said had ANYTHING to do with covering all Americans. In fact, they haven't promised to cover people who have coverage TODAY.
It is correct to say he has not announced a detailed health insurance plan, but he has announced enough details about his plan to what it will be for most Americans. Insurance premiums will be tax deductible to drive down the cost of health insurance, health savings accounts will be tax deductible, competition among insurers will be promoted to drive down premiums, no one will be coerces to buy insurance and no one will limit their choices of what insurance to buy as it is under the Obamacare fiasco. This means those who pay for their own insurance, about 80% of Americans, will see premiums drop, and since he has promised not to change Medicaid, those covered by Medicaid will see no change. What he hasn't announced in how he will help those now receiving subsidies and those with pre existing conditions, but there are a lot of ideas out there on how to handle these issues.
GAHHHHHHLEEEEEE! As a guy who spent 50 years in the health insurance and HMO business, I can tell you that we have been trying to do the same thing---in my case, since the beginning of my career in 1966! I just can't wait to see it! Will it be anything like the time that I saw Siegfreid and Roy disappear an elephant before my very eyes at Caesar's Palace?
Well, now we are getting somewhere! A Trump supporter, comparing him to Nixon! I can see that we have common ground, after all!
