Exactly what needs to be done. Get the insurance companies out of it entirely. There is no reason for the health insurance market to exist in its current form.

How many officials - Left and Right - cater to those ‘big bad’ insurance companies? 🙄

The GOP and the President need to be communicating to voters that the “draconian” premium increases that Schumer and others are demagoging are the natural and intended product of Obamacare, working exactly as expected. Trump tried to repeal Obamacare in his 1st term, but Sen. McCain thwarted that. The Supreme Court ruled that a tax was not a tax to rescue Obamacare, and all other efforts to stop it have likewise failed. What we have is Obamacare exactly as written. They “bent the oust curve down”... Shove all of that in the face of Democrats trying to argue that we need to continue short-term emergency subsidies from the Covid crisis era.

They blew my money on tests to verify what was in my medical report already.

Okay, this is about as clear as mud. Whatever Trump’s idea is, he has to spell it out a lot more clearly than this.

Mr. President, we need to changes laws and regs to enable any HCPs who want to leave their health systems and go
into independent practice.

We also need catastrophic coverage.

And not just for the young’uns.

Hilarious!

The proposal will not even elicit a comment from a Senator in the majority.

Much less a committee hearing lol

BAM! Problem solved!

Make demonicRATS and Rabid Paul (but I repeat myself) explain why MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS should get that money.

Sounds like part of a great plan to me.

To add to it, let’s make insurance nation wide instead of by the state where it is divide and conquer the crooked state insurance commissions. The places where insurance is $210 a month for Part G in one state and $44 in another.

Senate Democrats are advocating for a one-year extension of the Obamacare premium subsides.

Insurance Companies own them like so many other companies do they could care less what things cost you their pockets get filled anyway.

I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over.

That's a winning populist message. The Rats want money for the insurance companies, NOT for affordable health care for low income earners.

Health insurance should be decoupled from employment.

It’s one of the reasons American workers are at a disadvantage. You don’t have to worry about paying for Sanjay in Mumbai’s health insurance.

Especially now with people changing jobs so often, or facing periods on unemployment.

It's surprising that the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership - The Conservative Promise (920 pages), has only seven paragraphs on the ACA, p 469-470.

No call for repeal. Which is interesting, since HF has spent a lot of bandwidth for many years calling for repeal.

The best idea they have in the P2025 document:

Separate the subsidized ACA exchange market from the non- subsidized insurance market.

The Affordable Care Act has made insurance more expensive and less competitive, and the ACA subsidy scheme simply masks these impacts. To make health insurance coverage more affordable for those who are without government subsidies, CMS should develop a plan to separate the non-subsidized insurance market from the subsidized market, giving the non-subsidized market regulatory relief from the costly ACA regulatory mandates.

It remains to be seen how strongly HF will pursue any changes to the ACA. So far they've been pretty quiet.


Keeping in mind that the individual mandate passed constitutional muster, and although the tax penalty was eliminated in 2017, the mandate remains.

Depending on how future political winds flow, the penalty could rear its ugly head again.
