The $70/mo family insurance was a rip off. It didn't do what insurance was designed to do, provide coverage of the big disasters. It was very profitable for the insurance companies because they rarely had claims. About the only thing it did for policy holders is create a false sense of security. Leave it to the insurance companies and they will have a policy that cost $10/mo and you will never collect a dime.That will work until "less in coverage" translates into a giant medical bill when someone in the family gets sick.Trump is bs. The gop may be betting that people will be ok with less in coverage for lower coverage cost.That's why I call him the Naked Emperor.Imo Trump is irrelevant to the gop senate at this point. He'll sign what they give him, and he'll like it. He just wants to say "look I'm Great they passed my bill" when he didn't have jack shit input.Ladies and gentlemen, the goal is to LOWER health care costs, period.
And remember, Trump promised our health care costs would be a tiny fraction of what they are now.
Trump and the GOP's survival are completely dependent on the cost of health care coming down.
No amount of bloviation and chest thumping by the apprentice President will make any difference to a voter if they keep getting a giant health insurance bill in the mail.
Then Trump and the GOP are doomed.
I'd be fine if they simply brought back the catastrophic plans that used to cost $70/month...until Obamacare ran the cost up to about $350/month.
As CATO stated so well....Obamacare made inexpensive insurance illegal.
