GeronL, I have heard him deliver the same comments on Obamacare over and over.
He states he wants a robust private sector marketplace.
He does talk about the uninsured, but lets be frank about that.
Have that 45 million ever gone completely without health care?
The answer to that is no.
Even before Obamacare, those people could walk into any E.R. and get coverage. If they didn’t have adequate income, they could get on MediCal or the equivalent in other states.
Today they have official coverage. We pay for that too.
Obama is moving toward single payer. Trump wants to expand it in the other direction with more insurance competition lowering rates and provide a more diverse set of policies.
He has also talked about a private sector solution to the uninsured. This could take the form of innovative insurance policies with high deductibles, so the federal government wouldn’t be stuck for anything over the first $10,000.
Maybe their are other innovative ideas out there too. Trump has said he wants to talk to hospitals, physicians, and insurance companies.
The private sector insurance is private insurance. Period. It’s not government insurance. For those with very little income, perhaps something can be done that is much less expensive than what we have ever paid out for it.
We will see.
I have not seen him talk about big taxes on the rich to pay for insurance.
he talks a lot
but we’ve already been told he doesn’t mean a lot of it (by his supporters)
Maybe they should put 2 and 2 together.
No use arguing with these anti Trump idiots. Right now it seems they are masturbating to each others sanctimonious pap. I am serious. They probably have them out.
