Trump and the GOP is asleep on affordable Healthcare...

So can anyone point out the existing GOP Healthcare plans? I saw a report from Trump's intercircle saying Trump has no real interest in a fundamental Healthcare plan as it steps on too many toes of this wealthy friends. Trump dabbles around the edges but nothing concrete.

The GOP’s strategy is dismantling the ACA. That’s a good plan. We were better off without the destruction the ACA wrought on the USA.

Trump has always advocated for allowing the purchase of healthcare insurance across state lines.

At the time of the enactment of Obamacare there were about 16 million people uninsured. Most people had insurance through their employer. Instead of devising a bandaid to cover this small group of people the GOP Congress did nothing. As soon as the Democrats got back into power they passed Obama are without even one Republican vote.

So who’ fault is Obamacare. I have always blamed the Republicans.

Chuckles will just move the goalposts, yaknow

No deal unless they decide to reopen the government. If they decide to "play games" the deal is off.

You consistently bash Pres Trump and the GOP with your nonstop whining, ala Karen.

Maybe it’s time you head on over to BlueSky.

You’ll have more in common with the people over there.

Name one thing that both the gov’t and the private sector produce where the gov’t does it better?

Aside from shouting repeal ObamaCare and chanting "free market" slogans, there is no plan, which in a way is the correct conservative course of action. Government should not be involved in healthcare finance.

That said government is the entirety of healthcare finance through various insurance programs, tax rules that enable group health insurance, and regulation requiring charity care.

That ain't going away, so should the GOP and conservatives beat the Rats to the punch and advocate for a single payor Medicare for all healthcare finance system. Diffuse the affordability issue heading into the midterms and have control of the construction of plan instead of the Democrats?

The GOP and conservatives cannot advance MAGA without winning elections, and ignoring affordability is a great way to get swept out of power in the midterms .

Unless someone proposes a plan, Thune should agree to an one year extension of aca subsidies in order to end the government shutdown.

Joe Manchin put up more resistance than you.

No thank you. I don’t want to push it off again, I say we have that fight now. There are ongoing subsidies now in obamacare, plus enhances subsidies for covid. Covid is over, time to drop those subsidies.

He is almost daily having very public meetings with pharmaceutical CEOs announcing plans to bring down drug prices.

And the real fallacy in your complaint is that government won’t lower Healthcare costs. Government is increasing Healthcare costs with over-regulation.

On paper, all of it looks good. But they are not going to bring that up to vote.

Which is why Marjorie Taylor Greene is sounding the alarm.
