Trump's total healthcare failure.

[AntonToo]

Wonderfully easy promises:

Running into hard reality:

"Wonderful take care-of-everyone plan" will increase number of people without insurance by 18 million next year (CBO), 26 more million by 2026, while increasing insurance costs to millions of Americans by gutting subsidies and giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

Only 17% of Americans approve of this "wonderful plan".


Welcome to the Real Trump University, and unlike the fake one he used to run, here you Trumpsters will receive quality real world education.

I wonder if it was a fail. Instead it seems Obamacare will stay and implode giving republicans more ammo to use against the democrats in 2018.

The only thing actually imploding Obamacare is Trump and Republicans making it impossible for anyone to know wtf is going on with our individual healthcare insmarket and plan correspondingly.

If you are an insurance provider how can you even think about offering an exchange plan for 2018 in the middle of this chaos?

Obamacare will fail because not enough young people signed up. The CBO had predicted 16 million enrollees by this year. Instead there is less than 12 million. Insurance companies are loosing money and nothing is being done to actually reduce healthcare costs.
The new plan would benefit the insurance companies by switching the penalty from the government to them. One reason I hope the republican plan falls..

And watch who'll be screaming about more fed help.

Replacement plan will ensure that there are LESS young people with insurance then there are now. If that is what makes ACA unsustainable then surely AHCA is even more so.
