I think you’ve got a decent idea there.

There are two areas where I see a problem, and it’s not limited to your plan.

What do we do with people who have existing illnesses and people who genuinely need Medicaid?

I don’t want either of these groups to go without health care, because if they do, we run the risk of ailments getting a foothold that could expose those who can afford to pay to bad diseases.

Those two groups are going to give us fits.

I don’t want to see people left without health care.

The one issue is not fair to the insurance industry, and the other is not fair to the taxpayer.

These two areas are a mess.

Good points. One of the things that changes with disabilities and people who truly need medicaid is drug prices. Bringing drug prices down will help alleviate the high costs of supporting medicaid patients as well as those on medicare. This means that the way medicines are researched, developed and marketed needs to change. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of the subject and how that could get done.
