Needs to include tort reform. Stop the lawyers from driving up the cost of healthcare and medcal research.
That’s what your congressman is for
To refine the details
And that's the thing - he's not a flaming leftard. In fact, he's right on a lot of issues - immigration, guns, taxes, common core, and now health care. In fact, he's actually not even really that bad on abortion, unless one chooses to disbelieve that he changed on that issue between 1999 and 2014.
Personally, I believe that a lot of the sturm and drang about Trump that we're seeing is coming about more from hurt feelings than anything else: there are a lot of Rubio and Cruz folks out there who have taken it personally that the voters aren't choosing their candidates despite their repeated, insistent, urgent warnings that ONLY THEIR CANDIDATE CAN SAVE AMERICA.
What do you propose in place of medicaid? I personally know many doctors who accept medcaid patients.
Having released this broad outline just before the debate, you’d better believe that the moderators are going to ask for specifics in the debate tonight, and he’d better have better answers than he did in the last debate.
This is more specific than anything the Dems have offered and they give them a pass. the Donald knows that many of get this business oriented approach of set the objectives first and deliver the results based on incremental steps along the way once the full depth of the obstacles are uncovered.
He’s not privy to most of those yet as the sitting senators / governor should be...
Yup. Cruz wasn’t shaking and making jokes like Rubio, but he’s been saying the same things like fraud, tax cheat, mobster, racist, etc.
Hannity and Rush were outed as Establishment puppets and they’ve turned on Rubio per their orders.
I don’t need to read this, because Ted Cruz already told me that Trump is for 100% single-payer socialized healthcare for every American.
Cut the insults asshole.
Good point. That piece should be included.
There are NO doctors that accept it...this does nothing..
OK then, let the stupid, lazy and less fortunate (Medicaid clients) die in the streets! < /sarc >
Seriously, NO doctors accept Medicaid patients?
Hannity, Rush, and Levin came out as establishment puppets when they collaborated with Obama on suppressing talk about his stolen SS number, his forged draft registration (which makes him ineligible for any federal job), and the forged birth certificate.
The three of them are in it for the money. They are not in it to expose the truth.
Good Trump adopted Cruz’s plan.
As a Trump supporter, here is what I think Ted should say tonight at the debate:
"Donald, I read your proposal and I was very impressed. If you mean what you say, and the presidency should befall you and you implement this proposal, it would go a long way to fixing the horrible shortcomings of ObamaCare.
I happen to like my plan better ... but I applauded your well thought out proposal."
That would be the end of it ... they could go on to the other issues they disagree about ...
“Wow. No Cruz-accusation-of-expanded-socialized-medicine here that I can find.”
That is correct, mostly because that is basically the same plan Cruz has been talking since early last year. Of course, it is good to have Trump endorse him this way. Very statesmanlike to support someone else’s ideas. Kudos to Trump on this.
Single payer works for me. The user of the service pays. Whether he gets the money out of pocket, from insurance, as a benefit from a paid-for health plan or from Medicare or Medicaid is another issue. All of them have a place in the scheme of things.
FYI guys.
I don’t know how stuff gets on the “Breaking News” Sidebar, but I think this is something everyone should see and if you agree can you put it there for all to see? Thanks.
This is wonderful EXTRA good news.
Where is tort reform? It should be number one.
Separate issues same result - artificially forced higher healthcare costs and prices.
First: Repeal Obamacare and get the federal government out of healthcare. Check
Second: Fix malpractice awards.
I’d like to hear ideas on what that second step would look like. How would you go about fixing malpractice awards?
I know. Didn’t Trump hear Cruz? How dare Trump contradict Cruz with an actual documented proposal on healthcare.
That’s just beautiful. It’s a great plan to start.
I had an HSA with a prior employer. Loved it! Had high deductible and employer put $275 a month into my HSA to compensate for High Deductible plan. If I didn’t use that, I made money every month since HD plan cost $120 a month to cover me and daughter.
You are far more careful with your health dollars when it comes from your personal HSA. I would always tell docs to be sure to give generic drugs and that I was paying from personal acct and they would give me the “cash discount” cost. It was wonderful.
