I am a physician so I pay careful attention to healthcare issues. Trump did say “we need to take care of everybody” which resonates with his prior socialized medicine comments. He did not say HOW we should take care of everybody and if he were to propose a basket of health maintenance immunizations and screenings as free to all citizens I would not disagree. I could go on thirty minutes on just that. 50 years ago the “old doctors” didn’t feel that was medicine anyway. MSAs for every citizen that were self funded pre tax dollars is an idea we should have implemented 30 years ago and if that is what he intends then Trump actually IS conservative.
He hit on it...He said far more people would be working and would have insurance thru their employers...He said to open up State lines for insurance providers to cut the costs...
Well I’ll tell you, some of us out here are scared to death.
I am 100% disabled. Kept working 9 years after diagnosis, finally had to give up and apply for disability. Been waiting over 3 years because of a logjam of cases caused by dirty lawyer, and judge.
Wife works to keep insurance, and it has doubled since Obamacare. Next year they’re saying it will be $900 per month. Almost her whole check.
First of 2015 they quit covering my most expensive medication. Looked into Obamacare (no choice) and found out I would be put on Medicaid because of income, and savings are gone. Problem with Medicaid is no doctors in my area are accepting any new Medicare patients.
Could get a ruling on disability before the end of the year, but that wont help as I believe I would have to wait another 2 years for Medicare.
At this point has Obozo destroyed the health insurance market. Let’s say Republicans do everything we want, tort reform, competition across state lines, etc. Do we really believe the Ins. companies are going to lower these premiums to pre-obamacare rates? Without further gutting coverage, and higher deductibles?
At this point, me dying before the first of 2016, is the best thing that could happen to us.
