Universal care was well into the 2000s.....
He still talks about a replacement for Obamacare even now.
His emphasis is on private sector solutions, but he also troubles me by talking about a government provision too.
At least he’s not promoting single payer and trying to take down private insurance any way he can beind the scenes.
As for his government provision, he even wants a private sector cooperative agreement there that pulls together the health care industry to come up with solutions.
Obama didn’t even consult with physicians or hospital administrator when he was developing Obamacare.
No need for people with actually hands on health care provision experience.
He states about 45 million people are without coverage today. We have over 40 million out of work. If his back to work programs are successful, that 45 million might shrink to 20.
I am also concerned by how many people are on Medicaid and what that burden will cost states in 2016 and beyond.
Number one, our government should not be in this business.
I think that’s our main objection. I’m not hopeful even a successful businessman can come in and develop a decent plan for national health care, so we probably agree on this.
Do I think anyone else will do away with national health care? No. In some form or another, it’s a done deal at this point.
I’d be interested in reading what other FReepers think we could do.
