I dunno about phase 3, but isn’t phase 2 completely within the power of the executive branch? Won’t need votes at all because it’s removing regulations.
That still leaves everything in phase 3, like buying insurance across state lines and health care accounts, without which phase 1 will eventually collapse.
Now that Trump stupidly has agreed to cover all pre-existing conditions, he has to find a way to pay the massive costs for that — so someone with no insurance can wait until after being diagnosed with lung cancer to sign up, and then collect a hundred thousand in chemotherapy treatment after having paid NOTHING into the system. It is beyond stupid to put people with pre-existing conditions into the regular health insurance system, rather than lumping them into a high risk pool before the fact.
That is basically Obamacare right there. Covering everybody who is sick, even when they never paid insurance premiums, so they pay nothing but collect everything.
That is not how free-market insurance works and is not solvent without massive government subsidy, which is another tax or another entitlement.
