New GOP health plan: let people with pre-existing conditions and the poor die

[TheOldSchool]

Trump really wants to get this horrific bill passed before his 100 days are up so he can brag about it to his golf buddies. No matter the damage it will do to the American people.


MacArthur's proposal would allow states to seek waivers from certain federal requirements for health coverage. "The state must attest that its purpose is to reduce the cost of health care or increase the number of people with health care coverage," Gallo said.

They also could get a waiver from the rule that limits how much insurers can charge their sicker customers if they set up the high-risk pools.

Premiums could rise $140,510 more for those with metastatic cancer, $26,180 for rheumatoid arthritis, $18,440 for congestive heart failure, $17,060 for pregnancy and $4,270 for asthma, the study said.

The Republican bill also would cut Medicaid, which provides health coverage to the poor, elderly and disabled, by almost $840 billion over 10 years. It would stop New Jersey and other states from getting increased federal dollars to provide health care to new Medicaid recipients and give states a fixed sum for Medicaid rather than provide funding based on need.

The savings would fund tax cuts for wealthy Americans and corporations.

Just 17 percent of U.S. voters supported the Republican plan in a Quinnipiac University poll released last month, while 56 percent rejected it. And a Gallup poll released earlier this month said 55 percent of Americans supported the current health care law, the first time it was backed by a majority of respondents, while just 30 percent supported repealing and replacing the measure.

While I agree on Trump's travel ban, and Trump's border wall / Illegal immigrant deportations.... I don't agree with allowing Americans to die from lack of healthcare.

There is something abhorrent in the collective american psyche that needs to see the poor demonized and punished, it’s part of our colonial world view; that those who actually perform the labor that props up a society must be less than.

Another day, another promise broken by Trump. Easy come, easy go with this fella.

My statements are true regardless of the healthcare.

That being said, try buying fire insurance for your house after it's already burned down. That's called fraud.

Yeah those people with pre-existing conditions should go fuck thenselves huh? You're scum.

More important than the 83% of American voters who think the plan is crazy is the fact that the freedom caucus will not support it. Period.

Trump is going to usher in single payer healthcare. Just like only a fake liberal huckster like LBJ could be the only person to break the Southern conservative Democratic bulwark against civil rights, only a fake conservative huckster like DJT could be the only person to break the Republican bulwark against single payer.

It's coming, folks. It's coming. You dumbshits elected a New York limousine liberal.

Donald Trump in his book The America We Deserve:

We must have universal healthcare...I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses...

Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork..

The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.


Donald Trump on Larry King the first time he ran for President:

I'm quite liberal, and getting much more liberal, on health care and other things. What's the purpose of a country if you're not gonna have defense and health care? If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. So I'm very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal healthcare.
