President Donald J. Trump’s Great Healthcare Plan

Back to the Future: Trump’s History of Promising a Health Plan That Never Comes - KFF Health News

Even before he was elected, the president talked about a plan that would be released soon. Now he is saying the end of August.

I don’t see that quote in your link

What I see is where he provided a blue print in 2016

The plan that is currently in place allowed millions of Americans to get health insurance they could not previously afford.

You right wingers seem to think that’s a bad thing.

The plan has made it so they can’t afford it

It’s literally needed to be subsidized and continued to grow in cost

I get it from Noneofyourbusiness.

So… bullshit

“I got mine. **** everyone else”

Obama copied Newt Gingrich plan from the 90's.

In the 1990s, Newt Gingrich and House Republicans proposed a market-based approach to health care reform that focused on tax credits, insurance market reforms, and an individual mandate to purchase health insurance, as an alternative to the Clintons' more extensive government-managed plan.

Key features of the plan (which was formally part of the broader House Republican leadership plan and not a single, standalone "Gingrich plan") included:

• Individual Mandate: Individuals would be required to have health insurance, similar to automobile insurance. Gingrich argued this was a matter of personal responsibility to prevent the uninsured from passing their emergency care costs onto others.
• Tax Credits/Vouchers: The plan suggested using tax credits or vouchers to help low-to-middle-income Americans afford to buy insurance.
• Market Competition: It relied on market forces and competition among private insurers to control costs and provide a variety of choices to consumers.
• Insurance Market Reforms: The proposal included some protections for people with pre-existing conditions and other measures designed to increase access and affordability within the private insurance market.
• Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs): It promoted the use of MSAs (the precursor to modern Health Savings Accounts) as an option for consumers.
• Opposition to "Hillarycare": The proposal was a direct response to President Clinton's comprehensive "Health Security Act," which Republicans successfully framed as a "big government" overreach.

This Republican plan aimed to achieve universal coverage through market mechanisms and individual responsibility, ideas which later formed some of the core principles of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as "Obamacare".

I guess everyone has forgotten the idea was from a Republican?

No.
"I've got mine and want others covered too.
Obama's plan sucks donkeys. There has to be a better alternative."
The Democrats shoved that plan right up our ass in the middle of the night without one Republican vote.

Is anyone thinking trump's "written on a McDonald's napkin" healthcare plan will do anything to help at all?

He is kinda throwing some of the big corporate interests under the bus, which is always a good thing, but really only verbally without doing much about it.

Basically it's not a plan at all but a buck-passing statement.

I honestly don’t know, but doing the opposite of what Dems and Big Pharma want is definitely a good thing. They are the ones that gave us the current shit sandwich known as our healthcare system.

Why are Dems such shills for giant pharmaceutical companies and health insurance corporations?

Nope. Total sham.

Nope. Total sham.

I'm sure you've studied it at length and can offer a detailed critique.

 

[Concerned American]

Your irrelevant cut and paste aside. Tax deductions are not subsidies. Democrats in congress passed these subsidies during covid for covid relief. They should expire. Are you defrauding covid funds in MN too?

Im sure there is nothing to study at length.

Its funny to watch you fools support democrat ideas, because they came out of Trump's rapist mouth.

They’re massive subsidies.

 

[Concerned American]

They’re massive subsidies.

They are deductions. Not the same thing. Keep grasping.

Do you support it? Or because it came from Orange Man you now hate it?

Kind of like when Obama bragged about how many millions of illegals he deported, or when Kamala told South American migrants “do not come, do not come”? They weren’t racist or fascist for saying illegals shouldn’t come here, but Orange Man is.

In some ways you have to wonder how it took so long to get to just rebranding Obamacare as the "Great Healthcare Plan." Seems like that was the inevitable end point.

From the 1970s heritage foundation.

Meanwhile, the democrat plan is to let healthcare costs rise exponentially and just charge them off to the national debt instead of actually doing something to lower the costs.

So,how doYou intend to cover the 6 grand gap?

Of the $6 grand gap:

1) The gap will shrink once insurance companies have to compete rather just collect a windfall from the govt - so now we have a $4 grand gap.

2) That’s about $350 a month for insurance. Middle-class people were paying more than that before Ocare, so this still represents a savings.

3) Remember that seniors on fixed incomes are paying more than $200 a month for Medicare (and they pitched in for that for 40 years). So people with jobs can cough up an additional $150 compared to what a retiree is paying.

Seems you want a “solution” where people get their full premium covered, which is why we’re in this mess in the first place.

 

[Lisa558]

No. Trump is the epitome of all hat and no cattle.

Biden is the epitome of no hat, no cattle, and no way to figure out how to exit the stage.

“Want others covered too…”

But you’ll do everything possible to ensure that doesn’t happen
