TRUMP POSITION PAPER: HEALTHCARE REFORM TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Donald J. Trump for President ^ | 3/2/16 | Donald Trump

Posted on 03/03/2016 7:07:48 AM PST by Jim W N

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.

Wow. No Cruz-accusation-of-expanded-socialized-medicine here that I can find. This is a YUUUUUUUGE step towards putting healthcare where it belongs - in the voluntary cooperation of the competitive MARKET ECONOMY FREE FROM GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION.

GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP!!!!!!

Doesn’t matter. Cruztards will just keep repeating the same baldfaced lies over and over indefinitely.

This is basically the same as Ted Cruz’s plan. It’s good but without tort reform, the doctor shortage will continue.

Absolutely correct. However, some dont. But, medicaid patients can find medical care readily available.

If he can’t ARTICULATE this from his own mouth to the voters, he can’t sell it.

Yes, lets bring on real proposals and talk real issues.

Big Pharma and Big Insurance will be outraged. The people, not so much except for low information mouth breathers that will repeat what they are told ad nauseum.

Taking damn near EVERYTHING out of the hands of the Federal Government is really what is needed.

How do you figure? Yes malpractice-lawsuit reform is needed, but doctors will go back to being their own boss and we will have direct doctor-patient relationships again. People will once again want to be doctors.

That insulting comment was un-called for.

As a Cruz supporter, I was reading Trump's position paper and found it to be just what we need right now - I was impressed.

Then, before I could even say as much - you INSULT us all. Good way to bring us over. Your FRiends on this thread should condemn your comment.
