It’s actually a Wisconsin millionaire who wrote it up. But nice try.
Trump is endorsing it:
“Donald Trump has been on the record many times calling for a single-payer health care system in the U.S.”
In actuality, he has been on record many times repudiating single-payer health care in the U.S. He has stated many times that everyone should have access to health care. It is just that some people can’t divide concepts.
He stated he believes govt has a place in healthcare.. Taxes, mandates, regulation and spending.. not just NO.
There is no open and free market engine in this plan. There needs to be Tricare style price ceilings on care temporarily until, and only until, free market price competitions for services match those price ceilings.
I disagree it is Government that is the issue not employer. It is a benefit that separates a competitive market looking to attract talent. In fact before Obamacare my healthcare costs were quite small. Because of Obamacare insurance companies have sky rocketed costs and in turn employer has placed a much larger burden on their employees to offset the rise. Trust me it isn’t employers that are the problem it is 100% government interference.
I’ll go one further, Republicans have allowed Dumborats to control the message by forcing them to accept a repeal and replace and an idiot public has bought into the meme. How about just repeal? Just repeal the whole damn thing? Pre Obamacare my costs were cheap.
Nevermind. I should have read the article. He is basically stating that it’s a work in progress and should be improved upon with cross state competition, drug price controls, etc.
President TrumpVerified account @POTUS 3h3 hours ago Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. #ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster - is imploding fast!
Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago Don't worry, getting rid of state lines, which will promote competition, will be in phase 2 & 3 of healthcare rollout
Throw out their Rino-Care with them!
The feds have no constitutional authority to be meddling in healthcare.
Healthcare needs to be run by the free market economy which gave America the best, most affordable, most available healthcare in the world until the feds began rooting around and screwing it up.
Agree and this along with his domestic spending and economic policy is where he and I part ways. He is VERY liberal on these accounts yet we have FReepers cheering it on.
Does it get rid of the lines between states?

It’s not just veto. This is the first offering of the bill. There are other house members who have a say before the house votes on it. Then it goes to the senate where the senators have a say on it before the senate votes. I would imagine that is where some of the other ideals will be used as bargaining tools. It has a long way to go before it goes to the president for signature.
Agreed....
“Also, the 40 percent Cadillac tax on more expensive health plans is delayed from 2020 until 2025, but not repealed”
That’s right the “Cadillac” tax is STILL there. WTF? It’s a miserable POS. Trump thinks he needs the win and the tweaks for votes is going to make it worse.

The problem is, I think the “public” wants some sort of government run healthcare system. The fact that over the long run something like that will not work. It will be just like the either entitlement programs, start small end up a fiscal monster.
Maybe so. But every American has had access to health care since the days when Doc Baker was making house calls in “Little House on the Prairie.” Universal access means nothing in any context except where people can get all the medical care they need and make someone else pay for it.
LOL it’s been a long time but I still remember that cartoon PSA “I’m just a bill, only a bill” anyone else remember that?
Wish we had PSAs like that today
