This is it! Trump’s poll numbers will tank now, I tell ya!
The policy ideas listed here are actually quite good.
What does that mean?
Does Mr. Trump consider it sound public policy to remove government from health care entirely?
So I expect in tomorrows debate we will hear Ted Cruz apologize for lying about Trump’s healthcare plan by saying he was going to expand Obamacare into socialized medicine.
Or not...knowing Teddy.
NIce.
“Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system. Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions?”
Interesting.
tl;dr
But like the idea that he’s putting out specifics. It will dominate in the debate and he’ll continue to direct the narrative of todays issues.
BAM! I am sold. This is yuge. Solves half the problem so individuals are not locked in to one size fits all employer plans. People end up with pre-existing conditions because they have health care from their employer one day and not the next. It's a system that should have died a generation ago when people no longer had a long career with one company.
Right on Bro!
No executive order. Guess he doesn’t feel a need to be King.
Healthcare Reform starts with Tort Reform.
Frankly, the number ONE reason health care costs so much is because of Medicaid AND Medicare. Everything and anything subsidized by the government costs more.
It opens up the competitiveness of the Health Care providers, and opens up the ‘across state lines’ type of insurance, like auto insurance does...
No longer will there be a ‘one fit all’ health care plan, it will be available for each family and if the health care providers are smart enough this will drop the amount per premium on individual health care plans...
I have posted this many times, but no one has taken the time to read it or ask questions because the minute some people see ‘Trump’ they automatically start to snark....
I like it! Very smart, very conservative, very Trump!
When was this published? Was it published recently?
This is pretty comprehensive. Also like the part about not paying for illegals.
Economic growth and saving 11 billion is a good start.
I am a Cruz supporter.
After reading about Trumpcare on Trump’s web site, Trump and his institutionally indoctrinated advisors (blind leading the blind) are evidently still as clueless as Obama’s first, low-information Democratic-controlled Congress was that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the excerpts from Suprme Court case opinions further down in this post, the excerpts written by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices.
Regarding major problems with Trumpcare, consider that Trump’s proposal for federal interstate health insurance reform actually has the same major constitutional problem as the Obamacare insurance mandate.
More specifically, regardless what lawless Obama’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of the Obamacare insurance mandate, note the fourth entry in the list below from Paul v. Virginia. In that case, state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that regulating insurance is not within the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), regardless if the parties negotiating the insurance policy are domiciled in different states.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” -Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
” 4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphasis added] of indemnity against loss.” - Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
”Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” - Linder v. United States, 1925.
The above excerpts are why I’ve been ranting that Trump needs to be promoting a healthcare amendment to the Constitution on the campaign trail. (Note that the states are not obligated to ratify any proposed amendment to the Constitution.)
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach as evidenced by unconstitutional federal healthcare programs, Obama’s or Trump's.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Sold...again. This position is spot perfect.
