It will be a combination of private and something to cover poor & low income.
“That’s where I may be a little bit different from the [other] people,” the real estate magnate told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “You can’t let the people in this country, the people without the money and resources, to go without healthcare.”
So what would your hero of the world, Senator Cruz do? What’s his plan, Stan! Whaddya say Faye?
Is Cruz gonna repeal Obama care and dump Medicaid too?
Better yet ask the goon squads what their candidate will do? How come they only want Trump’s policy? Very interesting, eh Lurker?
Oh, Arturo, just what is your candidates plan, eh? Not to repeal Obamacare? Dump Medicaid?
“That’s where I may be a little bit different from the [other] people,” the real estate magnate told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “You can’t let the people in this country, the people without the money and resources, to go without healthcare.”
I hear they do a great job with chemotherapy.
“I didn’t hear it, but sounds like he’s talking about a private system but where government guarantees to pay for the poor (”Deals with hospitals”). I would say Jury’s out.”
That’s what we had before Obamacare. And what the Republican counter to Obamacare was - a government-funded catastrophic policy.
We can’t get away from the government (ie, taxpayers) footing the bill for the low-income and no-income crowd.
Trump needs to come out with specifics, like reforms about suing doctors and hospitals to control costs, before he speaks off-handedly.
Yea, his first 3 written proposals on his website were so incoherent/s
Correct as far as I know. There are two conditions I'd like to see placed on that:
A) They have to be truly poor, and must pay some amount of co-pay when treated.
B) It should be a basic plan, and an income based "sliding scale" used to determine their premium contribution, their payment ranging from 0 to 90% of full premium.
With affordable group plans coming back, as people gain employment they would likely drop the subsidized plan for a better one from their employer.
All carriers would be required to offer the sub/premium base plan. The government would otherwise not administer any coverage.
Medicaid would cease to exist.
Agreed—that’s a good approach.
Trump proposed nothing of the kind. I am tired of the lies going out.
Yeah, it is always the same people, yet they don’t hve any detailed plan from whomever it is they support.
They get breathless thinking they are so right, instead they are wasting their breath.
You are exactly correct. Despite the title of this article, which is sometimes all that we posters sometimes read before we react, the contents of the article says exactly what you are saying. Hospitals who have to shell out money for uninsured Americans will be reimbursed by the government. For the most part, that is what we had before this ridiculous ObamaCare was foisted on us. (Hospitals increased rates that real payers had to suck up in their premiums, and that the government then ate in tax deductions.) At the time our health care was the envy of the world, and patients came here from around the world for the best care in the world.
There is one difference that is hugely important. Trump says that he wants everyone to have PRIVATE health care and other comments at other times says he wants that to be purchasable across state lines.
So, we get our old system back and we can buy from cheaper companies wherever we find them.
I don't think that's bad.
Totally agreed
He still supports it.
