How much cost we gonna save, Donald? About $2500??
Deal breaker.
Populist Flavor of the Week Ping.
If anyone can figure out a deal like this, it is Trump
I am glad he is out there on this, like it or not
It is never going away
so might as well figure out a solution that invites the cooperation of free markets instead of demonizing and strangling them
Catastropic insurance
Tort reform
Buying insurance across state lines
There are some basic reforms that could be done by government which would make private insurance better and cheaper for everyone.
Beyond that, Medicare and Medicaid can probably ensure “universal” coverage. But any attempt to extend “universal” coverage through the federal government to middle-aged people with middle class jobs is just foolish. That’s what Obama did. I’m pretty sure Trump wants no part of that.
Ears plugged, eyes shut? All together now, Trumpeteers: La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!
The problem is that insurance exists at all.
Stick s fork in him he’s done.
A socialist always going to ground.
This will appeal to many working class Democrats and Republicans making up a good chunk of the electorate. If he can win the nomination without the support of the medical lobby, he’s got a good shot in the general.
I’m also for univeral health care too. Its called the free market which drives down prices
Let’s see the plan and the reasoning behind it.
There’s nothing to lose by exploring the options. What we have now is designed - that’s designed - to cripple the economy and eliminate the middle class.
Is Uh Oh spelled Uh Oh?
Or some other way?
And what are the other candidates going to do? Not a one will scrap obamacare. It would be almost impossible to do now. Can they change it? Yes. But they’re not going to scrap it.
When Clinton was elected President, I was abroad and knew nothing about U.S. politics. The last time I had looked, Reagan was President, and the U.S.A. was on the upswing and had an optimistic future.
When my highly intelligent wife and I first took a look at Bill Clinton, my wife said: "Oh oh! This man is bad news." She was right. She figured him out fast!
However, as a physician, I was delighted to hear how brilliant his wife was, that she was a lawyer, and that she was undertaking health care and would make it work. Was I naive! It didn't take me long to know that she would do nothing of the sort. To begin with, I soon realized that, contrary to the fawning press' reports, she was not "The smartest woman in the world" but was in fact a woman of mediocre intelligence--and worse, questionable principles (to say the least).
As I observed the Clintons, I saw them for what they are.
The U.S. health care system is badly in need of repair. It would be possible to repair it. Perhaps Trump could do it. Leftists never will.
Trump knows marketing. We know how to read. The left knows "freebies" and "Universal Healthcare" is a key phrase that causes them to salivate uncontrollably. A good marketer will use trigger words to sell a deal.
So let's see what the specifics are.
But yeah, it could be the point where "The Donald" augers in.
The question is how to do it. He said using the market, though I see needing Medical for people with prior conditions or broke folks.
If it were me I would charge prior condition folks a percentage of the income to get on and we should let people buy what they want.
Do lawyer and tort reform and costs will go down.
We are probably stuck with some form of it and I'd like to hear more about his take on making it workable - has to be head and shoulders above anything the corrupt "representatives" in D.C. could envision/implement.
Now you will see that they will try to justify Trump's "Universal Healthcare."
I would like to say this again. Donald Trump is not a Conservative. He doesn't even know what being a Conservative means. Listen to him saying it himself at the 53:00 mark. He was talking about repealing and replacing Obamacare and he added this:
Full Speech: Donald Trump Brings Down The House In Phoenix, AZ (7-11-15)
“I know this doesn't sound very Conservative. We gotta take care of everybody, not just the people up here. We gotta take care of everybody. Okay! Get used to it, Conservatives. I love you, Conservatives. Get used to it. Let's take care of everybody, please. And by the way Obamacare doesn't!”
This is by far and away a much greater sin than his righteous challenge to McCain’s lack of any remedial action for veterans, MIA’s and the things they need to have looked after!!!
He still supports it.
