On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare. We will work with Congress to make sure we have a series of reforms ready for implementation that follow free market principles and that will restore economic freedom and certainty to everyone in this country. Congress must act. Our elected representatives in the House and Senate must:
1. Completely repeal Obamacare.
2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines.
3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system.
4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals.
6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead.
7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America.
I gave thoughtful consideration to what I learned during those posts. Is that unheard of?
Why must Trump supporters be confrontational without provocation?
My job isn’t to be persuasive. I deal in reality.
Maybe you’d let a sink overflow until it flooded your bathroom and then your house. I turn the faucet off first.
Convince me this Senate — who sold out the American people with this Gang of 8 bill — will repeal Obamacare.
There are doctors that accept Medicaid all over.
You’re upset because this guy accused you Cruz people of being a bunch of liars and then you lie in your post right here.
You ‘found it to be just what we need right now’, eh?
You’re a lying troll.
You didn’t seem to find it to be ‘just what we need right now’ in this thread where Jim had to set you straight:

In addition, I am growing tired of the name calling.
Put it under states control and watch how many more will accept patients then, when all the red tape starts getting cut and the states determine the amount to be reimbursed.
I’m a Trump supporter politely asking you not to call people names.
I’m growing tired of Cruz people lying on this forum and everywhere else.
Absolutely brilliant. And I get a chuckle out of the motivation the states will suddenly have to investigate and weed out cases of fraud and abuse. I worked in the ‘social services’ field for a few years, and the disregard by management for a field agent telling them that someone was frauding the program and should be investigated was disheartening to say the least.
It was for a family, not just me.....................
The Left doesn’t like him and the Right doesn’t like him, so he must be the right guy for the job..........................
Same, hence my reactions here.

I can’t even compliment Trump without being called a liar?
What are you trying to prove?
Yes, Trump seems to be learning - something I think he’s good at.
Healthcare itself is none of the federal government’s constitutional business so, of course, federal guarantees (forced and coerced) “universal coverage” is patently unconstitutional.
Our country is about freedom and the American People’s freedom to choose. Within that structure and the free market economy which is freedom in action, America has had the world’s best healthcare and in a free America, the poor have been helped greatly not by government but by eleemosynary (charitable) acts and provision.
Again, a free people take care of themselves and their own better than any government can and the federal government was NEVER created nor given constitutional power to “take care of us. It was created mainly to PROTECT our freedom from invasion without and misdeeds within.
The federal government is the fox guarding the henhouse. And the chain on the fox is the Constitution. Take the chain off and the guardian becomes the devourer.
Of course, I read that plan, and I don't think it was actually written by Trump himself. I suspect it was written by one of his policy guys who was aware of the criticism. Which is perfectly fine, btw.
But the test is whether Trump is actually going to stick to this on the campaign trail, or whether he goes right back to talking about universal coverage and pre-existing conditions when challenged.
I didn’t say the plan said anything about tort reform. Dang man settle down. I said they are two different issues and should be addressed separately. Enough with omnibus bills.
The biggie right now is nuking Obamacare. Tort reform is important but I’d like to see GOOD and WORKABLE specific proposals along those lines.
Nothing wrong with the states determining the reimbursement amounts if it's just a block grant and they have the underlying financial responsibility.
Ideally, though, you'd like to see the block grants reduced over time so this goes back to being solely a state responsibility.
Me too. But it’s a step in the right direction. One small step for man, hopefully a giant leap for mankind towards complete freedom from government interference in the free market.
Exactly. He must be doing something right.
Good points. This gives greater hope to me about Trump’s heart and intelligence and ability to absorb and learn. To me it looks like he’s on a path going away from the Left towards the Right.
Amen. Our entire judicial system is a cancer of the Republic.
