What a fetid mess. I see no way out of this without simply abandoning their efforts and allowing 0care to implode. The problem is that HC premia will be 40+% high by the time it does. The whole concept of HC subsidies and all the ridiculousness is a hea seeking missile aimed squarely at US solvency.
Actually....that is not true. There *is* a way.
The single way out of this, having addicted 1-2-3% of the US public on this new entitlement....is to pay doctors/providers in tax credits and not money. With 15 year penalties for fraud.
As long as healthcare costs are high, health insurance premiums will be high.
Two aphorisms that are proving true:
One once the American people receive an entitlement it will never be repealed... AND
two The ancient Greek observation that democracy breaks down when voters realize that they can vote themselves benefits at the expense of others.
It is becoming apparent that conservatives have no representation by an organized political group in Washington.
And, I dread to say it, but If Donald Trump does not choose to represent the folks who got him elected - it is time to search for another.
The present Washington elite establishment must be replaced if the Republic is to be saved!
