“Repeal Obamacare” = “Obamacare Booster” in TDS world.
He likes every single thing about Obamacare, except apparently the name. His “repeal” will consist of renaming it Trumpcare.
Present the viable alternative to Obamacare, now that this can of worms has been opened, and The Donald will integrate that into his larger plan to unlock a very onerous burden on US business interests. There may be some wiggle room on this “providing medical assistance to everybody” that satisfies both fiscal good sense and the pressures of compassion, but for sure, the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010” fulfills neither of these objectives.
Is “universal health care coverage” either desirable or possible? That question has not been settled in my mind, as people have different attitudes as to how much, or how little, assistance they may need in maintaining their personal degree of healthful living. Some may refuse to participate in any health insurance scheme whatsoever, choosing to self-fund all their medical services, if and when they shall be called upon. Others are obviously dependent from day one of funding for their health care to be provided by others. But the vast majority is willing to make an equitable and just contribution to the pool of money necessary to adequately fund the delivery of the finest system of medical services that the world has ever seen, and to assure that degree of technology shall continue to be funded in regards to research and development into the future. Most of these funds shall not come from government sources, but from the fruits of an ever-expanding capitalist growth of the economy, of which taxation and regulation are the principal limitations.
The path seems perfectly clear to me.
Mandate support, followed by walk back, touch and go amnesty, fools who believe.
