There’s eleven billions in savings right there. I’m ticked because my copays and monthly payments went up which means I’m subsidizing people who are getting it for nothing. Does that make me hard-hearted - hell no.

"He counters that, however, by saying individuals should be allowed to "fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns."

Oh well...........There goes that post card tax return he promised. Back to social engineering via the tax code again. That didn't last long?!

There’s nothing in there about covering pre-existing conditions. Just for the record. I can’t remember if Trump has been clear on his policy on pre-existing conditions. But judging by this, there won’t be any law forcing companies to cover them.

People on welfare programs for their health care don’t have to pay co-pays. Nice, huh?

Yeah, why examine issues when you can just post a thread disrupting farce photo right off the bat? After all, can’t have people actually thinking about things.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I can live with it... Trump isn’t trying to shepherd us into Trumpcare.

From my point of view, he has listened.

There’s hope.

I’m on Medicaid and I do my co-pays for office visits and hospital appointments.

So its not like I don’t pay my fair share.

It is a tough issue, and I wish I had the answers...
I think these two parts of his plan would help the situation:
-
3- Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns.
As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance.

4- Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate.

The government has no business being in the health insurance business.

I don’t care how good the plan is.

I think they’ll be kept.

But its clear that keeping people from buying the health insurance they want when they want hasn’t lowered costs and has driven up premium prices.

What good is health insurance when you can’t afford it?

The government should ensure competition, enforce quality standards and protect consumers from fraud.

People can make their own decisions about what’s best for them.

You are confusing Trump with “postcard” Cruz.

You know what I don't like?

"Allow individuals"

If Trump is not for repeal....he is a liberal. Cruz is for repeal.

Yet another flip flop that proves Trump has no core. Oh and foreign drugs? Germany is probably one of the leaders in that. Make Germany Great Again.
