Congress has begun the process of repealing President Barack Obama’s controversial Affordable Care Act, a law that critics say resulted in billions of dollars of government waste and increased healthcare costs.
Democrats have been on the attack since, and have recently held rallies where liberal lawmakers like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders promised doom if American voters didn’t speak out.
So they’re not going to be happy when they read this: President-elect Donald Trump says his plan to replace the nation’s health care law will include “insurance for everybody.”
So much for the left-wing narrative that Trump would leave them uninsured.
Trump made the comment in an interview with The Washington Post, published on Sunday.
The president-elect says: “We’re going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”
Trump declined to reveal the specifics, but hinted his program would save millions in taxpayer dollars by aggressively negotiating with pharmaceutical companies and medical providers.
“They’re politically protected, but not anymore,” Trump said of pharmaceutical companies.
The president-elect then promised that Americans “can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”
The new healthcare plan is “very much formulated down to the final strokes. We haven’t put it in quite yet but we’re going to be doing it soon,” he continued.
An embrace of universal health care has shocked liberal critics, who have been nay-saying the Trump administration’s plan to repeal Obamacare.
Trump told the Post he expects Congress to address the issue in the coming weeks.
The Associated Press contributed to this article
The Affordable? Care Act gave insurance to the uninsured at the expense of the working class insured, who are required to pay for it, but can’t afford to use it, never reaching the deductible. So the cost for the uninsured was shifted to the cost of the previously insured.
The opposition to Trump’s repeal/replace, who are screaming with criticism, worried about not seeing what’s in it, don’t seem to remember, PELOSI: “YOU HAVE TO PASS IT, TO SEE WHAT’S IN IT??? HOW WAS THAT OKAY???
It seems the Dem’s have the attitude of “don’t do as I do, do as I say”. Hopefully Trump and associates will treat them as a squeaking bearing…remove and replace.
Hillary has had the pharmaceutical companies in her pocket for years. There is no telling how much money
they have donated to her to keep their cost high. With all the suicides around them, I pray God will protect
Pres. Trump.
I agree with YOU ! Trump is a DOER and not a TALKER like all the others who live on taxpayers money and love to keep the corrupt system in place!
The next thing is “Term Limits ” so the guys who have been reaping the people finally have to leave and their gravy drain is coming to an end.
This is how a REAL DEMOCRACY works and we can only thank our new president who has common sense for all of this. GOD bless HIM!
We are not a democracy The United States of America is a REPUBLIC big difference between the two forms of government.
Once the people see what is coming down, they will change their minds! One of the legs of the new health care is that it’ll be much like all other insurances, in that you will be able to go across state lines to buy health insurance! It will make it that if you sell it in one state you must sell it in all 50 states, and those smaller insurance companies will have to pull together to be able to sell nation wide! This will make insurance more competitive, which means cheaper prices! Also removing the penalty for not having it from the IRS! It will also allow you to tailor your insurance to your needs not that what the government tells you right now you must have! By doing all of this, your monthly premiums will be cut dirastically !
The Democrats are worried that the elderly, middle, and lower class have a reasonable price and decent insurance. Unlike the upper class (the rich) we can’t afford a lot medical care they can.
Exactly what I’ve been saying all along, good summary.
I work in a hospital & can barely afford insurance and the deductible for my wife & me is nearly $5,000 ! Worthless for all but catastrophic health emergencies. But I know people who have it worse than that. Absolutely ridiculous. Finally, a president who is not in the pocket of his donors and not afraid to take the heat.
If President Trump is given a chance, I believe he will be among our greatest presidents.
MAGA!
Tell me about it Fred! Oh Yes…
Pelosi should be the first government official to have her head opened up in order to “see what’s in it”.
Rob Manwiller, We nall know what’s in Nancy Pelosi;s head, air(polluted, not fit to breathe) and manure.)
Manure = cesspool sludge…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOOORAHH
It us hard to identify a vacuum, unless you happen to hear the rush of air into an empty space!!
Cobwebs.
Just like the Federal Reserve hope no one is surprized to find her head empty.
@ “Maureen” — NO NEED TO BOTHER, MAUREEN ! ! ! Rumor has it that nothing is in there except a few rotted grains of botox.
Love that one.Lmao.
It probably a lot of hot air. Trying to determine how many “procedures” she’s had done and how and who actually paid for it. I’ve had this item that she had the taxpayer pay for it, whether directly or indirectly.
Pelosi brain has full of dirty rags of Micheal Obama !
Great reply! Right on!
Pass a bill before you read it? Would you sign a contract without reading it? Would you apply for a loan without reading the document? Would you purchase a vehicle without reading the contract? Would you give your teenager a blank check? I should wouldn’t. Pelosi has a mental condition and should resign from her position. Obamacare has cost American’s millions. I do believe all Americans must have insurance. All illegals must purchase health insurance in order to be in America. No freebies.
Perhaps Nancy P would like to pay the bill for all of us. When the Hill fist tried to ram this lack of healthcare bill through the Speaker of the House stepped down so he could introduce a bill to exempt the Senate/Congress from the People’s healthcare. You know they are so much better than commeners. I have a relative that works at Walter Reed hospital. Servicemen/women are bumped from their appointments in order for politicals to take care of their “hangnails”
yOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL SQUARELY ON THE HEAD WITH THIS COMMENT.
yup
How anyone can vote for the democrats is beyond me.
De-regulate, de-regulate, de-regulate!!! And, let the insurance companies sell across state lines! Trust me, deregulation would set the insurance industry free & being able to sell across state lines, would create incredible competition. That great American sense of competing, would result in unprecedented health care options – – something for everyone, rich or poor!
I just hope that Trump plan forces Congress, the Obama, the Clinton forced to take ObamaCare to see how they made Americans lived under it. No waivers for anyone.
Exactly!! Medicaid rolls BLEW UP that was the way most of the uninsured poor got insured and EVERYBODY pays for that and the premiums went up for the insurance companies businesses and states!!! Gruber was right it TOTALLY depended on the STUPIDITY of the uninformed US population!!!! And of course GREED of free loaders. The people that really need help and TOTALLY DESERVE HELP can not get it because they are just NUMBERS never looked at as people ONLY VOTES!
You seem to make it sound as if working people are paying for welfare recipients insurance(?). People on welfare were/are already covered!!! I am & was working and already had insurance but I was at a point in my life when I could afford and wanted a BETTER plan but due to one of those pesky “pre-existing conditions” was not allowed the privilege……or “Right” to buy it.
Thanks to God (& the Affordable Care Act) I was not only allowed a much better policy, my Premiums and deductible went DOWN!!! I have no idea why which makes me wonder what everyone is complaining about…..I have had just a couple of my friends that told me theirs has gone up 15% to 40%!! & that situations they were in varied dramatically……
Anyway, the fact is, BOTH Parties have wanted universal health insurance at least as far back as FDR……Obama ran on it and pushed it through based largely on Republican “RomneyCare” but of course it is so outrageously obvious that Obama was blocked on every issue at every turn with the only complaints being “he’s not an American” (he is…..) & “he’s a Muslim” (which he is not) the ONLY explanation can be that sadly we still maintain such strong racial hatreds that we should be ashamed…….
I had great hope that this would be the year we “woke up” and broke away from the two Party “hostage situation” we are apparently stuck in and elected two supremely qualified former Republican Governors in the Libertarian Party. It is sad that Gov. Johnson had his “Allepo moment” so instead we are stuck with a man who is far less aware of International affairs beyond his own business interests solely based on avarice!!!
If it’s not obvious to all yet, hang on…..
Working people pay taxes tax money pays for Medicade dummy.
For me, the color of Obama’s skin has nothing to do with why I want him out of the WH. He was a man who was a puppet on a string and was more concerned with helping other countries get into the US. Give undocumented free health care, free living expenses as long as they vote for him. He didn’t care about you unless you voted for him and his medical bill that Pelosi said they had to vote it in so they could find out what was in it. The old pig-in-a-poke deal. Wehms, I wonder how many things you purchased, paid for, then told you would have to pay more just to see what you bought? We bought into a “Bait n Switch” healthcare.
@ “Wehms” — We certainly hope that you’re not overly allergic to electricity, as THE SHOCK that is closely approaching you is going to be devestating to people under a persuasion such as yours ! ! !
Too: wehms
OH OH OH OK CUM! GIT!
Wehms
Open your eyes… You are wrong. He IS a “closet Muslim” and he has shunned Christianity in every way he could. He did not attend the “Day of Prayer, but had Muslims in the White Houses celebrating their holiday Eide with them, He was not born in Hawaii, and does not have a birth certtificate from any hospital in Hawaii. He has a “certificate of Birth which is different. This was developed by the US Department of Printing and Engraving as an “Official Document” If he was a US citizen, he came to the USA under false pretense as Barry Soweto (his real name) came here on a FOREIGN STUDENT VISA. We paid for his education…..This will all come out when his college records become unsealed.
The ruble you hear are the founding fathers of our great country turning over in their graves.
You are full of shit and lying! I work on large jobs with many hands! I move around a lot and I don’t know of anyone who has any kind of reduction in price for healthcare!
I believe I told Repubs and TPs that Trump wants everybody in this Country insured. Funding the health insurance will come from the point of sale for every item except food. So we will be paying another .02 % for every item we purchase. That means those who will purchase expensive items such as planes, jets, Lincoln, Lexus, expensive homes will pay a lot for health insurance. This however, will enable all Americans, working or not, to have access to health providers and will be changed nothing. IRS will be responsible for collecting premium payment from business people. I love Trump now.
With all the Money that they used to have the American Citizens pay to Murder the Unborn and Born to Planned Parent Hood and other Agencies like Doctor Assisted Suicide they can certainly take that Money and put it towards Health Care as well as other Pork Spending. If they do that there is no reason not to be able to have Health Care for Every One of Our American Citizens and for the Government to pay for it via the Tax Payers. Now that is something that I don’t mind doing out of Our Taxes as long as they do not have us paying for Abortion or contraceptives and other things like changing a Persons Biological Identity into some one that GOD did not make them into being, just so that they can live a Lie from a Mental Disorder.
It is the job of congress to write new laws – read the laws – discuss the laws and then either pass it or reject it upon its merits. The massive library of congress was built, so lawmakers would have a resource for writing the laws. Today, the lobbyists and special interests write the new laws and give them to their puppet congressman to push through, so it is no surprise that no one read the ACA. Pelosi should have been prosecuted for her statement about passing it to see what was in it – that was an outrage and more evidence of the out of control corruption throughout our government.
Can’t wait to watch the nitwits react to this. How do they like a taste of their own medicine? THEY DON’T!! DRAIN the swamp!!!
What a JOKE calling it the “Affordable” Care Act & to make matters WORSE ramming it down the people’s throats, saying you HAVE to get it or else. & those idiots that said the repeal would leave us without insurance? You repeal & replace SIMULTANEOUSLY! I only have a high school diploma but even I understand that!
THANK THOSE JUDGES IN THE SCOTUS FOR SHOVING ANOTHER COMMIE TAX PLAN DOWN THE PEOPLES THROAT. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE HEALTH, AND THESE MORONS sen. sanders is one THINK OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT HE CAN MAKE FREE, STIFLE IT EDITH! THERE IS NO FREE ANYTHING ANYWHERE, SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY!
Remember, Pelosi has a mental condition.
Many people with a high school diploma, have much higher intelligence than the “highly educated & grossly ignorant”! If you don’t believe me, just take a look at Washington, DC!!! Its FILLED with the grossly ignorant! So very pleased we now have voted intelligence back in the power seat! Let’s stick together & keep it that way!!!!
The only thing that would make the ACA better was Obama’s Single Payer insurance but the republicans gave a resounding “NO.”
Really – that’s the only thing that could have improved Obamacare, which the architect of O’Care (Gruber) admitted was a master defrauding of the American people?
How about NOT giving Muslims free Obamacare, paid for 100% by non-Muslims?
The population with a responsible birthrate FORCED to cover 100% of the population with the MASSIVE birthrate …. a calculator is unnecessary to see how that was going to end. (Exactly as Obama planned it to end; his statement that America is a Muslim nation was a prediction.)
Did you not even KNOW that in that 2,000-page bill – unread by most legislators – was the healthcare free ride for all Muslims, at the cost of non-Muslims?
Just believed everything that Obama and Pelosi said, did you?
Jeanette, I do not know if you are intentionally lumping All Muslims into one pot, but they will not fit in. Many Natural Born American’s are Muslims. And all Muslims are not out to get you…… Many American born Muslims are helping to pay for American freeloaders. Try to get out and learn more about Real Life.
You are delusional. Single-payer would be the worst move of all, dim-bulb. It’s what the establishment wants! Then they’ll attach everything to it under the sun and will will take the rest of our Constitutional rights. Move home, dimmie.
If you do a little research, you’ll find that the ACA and the ultimate “single payer” system were both fashioned after the current veterans administration system. How is that working?
It’s working better than commercial insurance. My dad was a World War II veteran injured in battle twice fighting the Japanese. He was 100% disabled and was always treated well by the VA up until his death. Commercial insurance hire lawyers to see what they can get away with fir not paying. If you want to take it even further, Medicare is an excellent program that has been working for 60 years. If the assholes in Congress would stop frittering away the funds on needless and unfunded wars, Medicare would be in great shape financially.
Of course, the Republicans gave it a resounding, “NO”! They were protecting You & We The People! Oh, how we desperately need multiple, interconnected TEA PARTY organizations in every County, & every state across the nation, to bring only the whole truth! Its a sure way to shut down ignorance & tyrants & preserve our ORIGINAL constitute!
What a joke naming it “Affordable” & then to ram it down the people’s throats, you HAVE to have it or ELSE! As for the folks that don’t understand Repeal & Replace; you do it SIMULTANEOUSLY! I only have high school diploma but even I understand that!

Not ram it down.
Democrats like to shove it up your Ass.
I get so tired of the pictures they post of Trump,I think he actually cares about us and can’t wait to see how he is going to change our corrupt government.
I get so tired of the pictures they post of Trump,I think he actually cares about us and can’t wait to see how he is going to change our corrupt government.
Diane. You got that right. What a hateful bunch. Trump has already proven himself. We gave Obama a chance two times and he never did come through
Then why did you give him a second chance?
“RE” DIDN’T ! ! ! ‘SOROS” DID ! ! !
@ “Justcause” — “RE” didn’t ‘give’ oslima a second chance — “Soros” DID ! ! !
They don’t have the “replace” part even slightly worked out yet. But they sure would like to pull the rug out from under people, leaving them vulnerable while they dick around in Washington. Republican reps have not had a clue about this so far, so I’m not too confident that they will come up with anything very good, very fast. They would like to cull the herd, that’s how they view us
If you do a little research, you’ll find that the ACA and the ultimate “single payer” system were both fashioned after the current veterans administration system. How is that working?
Dr Carson had a very detailed replacement plan for the ACA. A lot of it has been adopted by Trump administration.
If the GOOPS actually had another plan other than being obstructionist, they would be ready to go on day one. Obviously, they have nothing. They sat back and complained for 8 years instead of doing something productive. I don’t like partisan politics on either side of the aisle and will call out each of them.
With the ACA, the insurance companies didn’t have to pay until after the $10,000 deductible was paid first…well guess what, the working poor don’t have $10,000 laying around, because their taxes are to high paying for the poor & illegals’…at least a catastrophic plan was affordable…after the ACA you couldn’t buy one…beside the government has no business tell you what you have to buy.
That’s funny. My nephew had a plan under the ACA and yes he had a job and is now working and going to school to improve himself. He did not have a $10,000 deductible. You must live in a harsh state. Probably a red state.
My only comment. Wait and see. We all have heard this kind of thing before, but action speaks
louder than words.
Well, Obama’s actions certainly did, at least for those who aren’t addicted to him.
I know Trump is not going to do to us the people what Obama did to us. It is the first time in 33 yrs I feel good about an Election and who I voted for.
Let’s make certain we stand behind Trump until the job is done…it will take some time to clean the swamp. Call, write, tweet, etc. your state representatives and let your voices be heard on both sides of the aisles. It is government for the people by the people so let’s stay after it!!! And let’s remember to pray for All our elected officials.
Once we get this health care thing corrected, we need to crack down on the insurance industry in general in the U.S.A.
The yearly increases in the cost of auto and home insurance have far outpaced the inflation rate and cannot be justified.
The huge portions of a families income that we are forced to pay for coverage has grown to be absolutely vulgar.
The insurance industry has grown to become a Ponzi scheme.
I urge congress to set stronger controls on these greed people.
Let’s hope that we can see this bill before it’s passed,,,,,,, REMEMBER PELOSI!!!!!!! THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, EVER……… SHE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR THAT…….
Give Trump the chance.that you would give your choice for president. He mite just become a great leader.
TERM LIMITS
For the past few months, I have been studying the issue.
I’am in favor of term limits and have been not just for the United States House Of Representatives and the United States Senate, but also for the Justices on the United States Supreme Court and for all Federal Judges.
However; in my view there is just one small problem.
The United States Constitution.
The constitution is the operator’s manual to our Government, it describes the Three equal branches of government, legislative, executive and judicial, it describes their roles and duties and obligations, it lays out the qualification’s a person must meet to serve in any of those positions and it describes the length of service for each position and how they are elected.
The length of service is a major issue.
there are only two positions in our national government where the framer’s of the Constitution used the word “TERM”, that of President and Vice~President of the United States under Article II, of the United States Constitution.
Article I , consists of ten subsections that lay-out the foundation, duties and obligations of the Congress of the United States.
Article I, Section 2 Describes qualifications and duties and obligations for member’s of the United States House Of Representatives, for example; The House Of Representatives shall be composed of member’s chosen every second year, by the people of the several states.
The word Term is not used to describe length of service for a representative.
Thus the word Term cannot be legally used, without amending huge tracks of the Constitution.
Article I, Section 3; Describes the Duties and obligations and qualifications for a United States Senator.
The Senate Of The United States Shall be composed of two senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof, for six years.
Again you will notice the word term is not used to describe the length of service for a United States Senator, also you will notice the People, that is You and I did not elect, United States Senators, were not supposed to, for they are not their to represent “We The People”, They are their to represent our Respective State Legislatures.
I have come to the conclusion that there already exists Limits on length of service for both Representative’s “two-years”, and Senators “Six” years, that fact is those in power ignore the Constitution !
Besides term limits is not the real issue.
The real issue was the illegal passage of an Un-Constitutional Amendment back in 1913, be the Democratic Party, led by the Head Bolshevik~Klan-Racist Woodrow Wilson, the XVIIth (17th) Amendment violates Article V,, of the constitution which forbids the surrendering of states suffrage…….
Here’s a shocker ; Wilson and the Democratic Party lied too the people and conned them into believing that U.S. Senators were supposed to represent us, “We The People”,……
A posable way to pay for healthcare and pay off the national debt; Could we just collect the bribes that crooked government officials, legislators, government officials that do the “pay to play” system to make a little money on the side. Even if they have shielded the transaction by having the bribes payed to family members or friends. It might do away with some of the corruption in our government, and pay some bills (not Bill Clinton though)
ALL INSURANCE needs a look see!! Since my spouse died, my insurance is still about as much on one car as it was on two. My children pay for health insurance they never get to use, because they never meet the deductible. Also, Nancy Pelosi and friends need to be strung up by thumbs for the crap they preached on insurance. The ‘Affordable Care’ left out persons over 59 years old. She said that old people should die “naturally”. (That’s without any medical help folks.) Well she doesn’t have to worry. If she quit working at anything, she will live like a queen the rest of her life. So will Obama and Michell (or Michael???)
and their so called kids. If Hilary doesn’t spend the rest of her life in jail, she has enough money for anything she wants. Who cares about all the common folk out here. They sure didn’t. We paid millions for all those vacations and clothes etc they all have and our old people cannot even get medical help. They all need to go to jail for taking advantage of the taxpayers. I call it legal fraud.
I was and am a dedicated Trump supporter, but being a realist, I fully expected to be disappointed by Trump, but not so soon, and not before he even takes office. Trump’s “insurance for everybody” is pure socialism and means endlessly increasing government control. We will end up with just another version of Obamacare.
It is undue governmental control to force an arbitrarily designated group to pay the costs of medical insurance for some other arbitrarily designated group, just as it would be for the government to force an arbitrarily designated group to pay the car insurance for another arbitrarily designated group.
Your point is well taken. Why should you pay for someone’s insurance just because they can’t. Consider this. Government has a purpose – to setup and administer a set of rules for all to live by. We don’t have a government of the people – that is a myth, but we do have some say even though it is small. Now, with Trump instead of the criminals, we have someone other than a dictator to fight for our well being. We, as a people, don’t want people to starve so we offer food stamps, but it is being abused. We offer housing subsidies, so people with little money have a place to live. Letting Americans die a nasty slow death because they can’t afford insurance is another program we all share the cost in, but none of those programs should be abused and should only go to those that must have them and can’t work.
We have had universal health care for years – called emergency rooms that can’t turn anyone away. It is stupid to give the highest cost care for free when a better system of nurse practitioners can be setup. Most Americans don’t mind helping other disadvantaged Americans. It is the corruption and abuse that I hate and hate paying for. The ACA was designed to be so complex that no one could understand it. There was an agenda to bankrupt the country and have everyone under control of the gov. So, if we stop the illegal immigration and get people working again then we can get the dead beats off the free stuff and working. So, in my mind, the problem is not the gov helping Americans, but all the corruption, that must be stopped.
The idiots that have run this country from Clinton to Odummer have gotten what they deserve. The 18-35ers have elected one nitwit after another from the federal,state and city levels.
The middle class white majority have stayed away and not voted for any devil. Because one AIDS infested pig is as bad as another so why bother to vote.
I’m looking forward to the revolution that is coming and the hanging trees and firing squad walls being prepped to weed out the commie liberals and gay/ lesbian freaks that have been allowed to grow and flourish in the welfare country America has become.Odummercare was rammed down our throats by an unamerican muslim loving piece of garbage.
If Trump is half as smart as I know he is he goes and gets sworn in and then leaves the podium and shouts” See you aholes later I have work to do”
Obama Care is such a confusing law that even those who wrote it don’t understand it. It is a burden for most small businesses. Attorneys or Accountants can’t give you direct answers because the law is so confusing. I have a hard time believing that more people are insured than before 2006-2007. Maybe more than 2008, after many had lost their jobs and insurance. America had just gotten rid of HMO’s and insurance costs were down. I was paying $360.00 per month for a $5,000 deductible and now I would pay over $800.00 per month for a $5,000 deductible. I know far more people who do not have insurance now than I did before the crash. It will be relieving to know that business minded people will be writing our new insurance law.
To those that think ‘ObamaCare for some’ is so great……..you must not have it like our politicians don’t. Try coming up with a $5,000.00 deductible, cash to pay for medicine? or food? or every Dr. you use (when you can afford to go!) stop taking your plan and the list goes on. Boggles the mind that people live in a bubble and don’t want to know how people really live day to day……easy for them to look out and make judgement calls and believe political and media holier than thou garbage.
My prayer is MrTrump keep your promises and to thoses who say this wont happen or this’ll be worse I say give him a chance He is not even sworn in yet Sure I want details as I am middle class taxpayer and this year on fixed ss
MR TRUMP, THE PRESIDENT ELECT THAT LOVES AMERICA, IS GOING TO STUN A LOT OF PEOPLE MANY TIMES. HE’LL DO THINGS HIS WAY, BUT, HIS AGENDA IS ONE OF WHAT’S BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY. HE HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO BECAUSE OF THE MESS AND DISGRACE THAT THIS POTUS HAS CREATED. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS MR. TRUMP AND PROTECT HIM FROM THE ‘DEMONCRATS’.
Obummers affordable health care act? What a freaking joke!!! The only ones who can afford it are the leeches who receive it but don’t pay for it! My deductible is so outrageous my wife and I call it disaster insurance! Trump needs to reign in medical cost across the board period! Greedy bassturds making a fortune from other peoples misery!
I would like to remind everyone that the insurance companies set the customary fees. My Physician charged less than what the usual and customary fees and ended up in trouble.
WHAT WILL BE ‘STUNNING’ IS ALL THAT THIS MAN, WHO LOVES AMERICA AND THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY, WILL TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AGAIN – CREATING JOBS, RISING STOCKS, AND A POSITIVE, HOPEFUL ATTITUDE FOR ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR EIGHT YEARS.
I will look forward to seeing what President Trump puts forward. He may have brought medical industry leaders together for assistance on creating a plan that would actually work. When the Democrats were working on their plan in 2009 it appeared the only people they put on their panels were people who embraced the Obama view.
Our New President Elect Trump has the right idea. Get these Rich drug companies who are making billions of dollars off of the consumers each year to help reduce the overall cost of Healthcare by lowering their cost for Drugs. Drugs can be bought in Canada and many other countries for about 1/3 of the cost here in America. Some places even less than 1/3. The other big cost to Healthcare is Hospitals who have to charge more to make up for the non-paying Indigent Care Customers. Many of whom are illegal Mexicans. Hospitals do not have the right to refuse treating them in the Emergency Rooms or if they are in need of being Admitted. Many of the illegals do not pay income taxes, they do not pay Social Security, or Medicare premiums but are just as entitled to the benefits of these programs as the Legal Citizens who have paid it in all their lives. No wonder the Social Security System is going broke. If these problems were corrected there would be a surplus of money in the Social Security Fund, and they would not be trying to cut back on Medicare & Medicaid. Fix the real problem and stop the free entitlements.
We have to remember WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LETS ASK OURSELVES WHAT WE CAN DO FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MR> DONALD J. TRUMP as our President! now we have Hope he is going to bring back
USA.
I always called it was it is and was Abominable Care Act.
People! We need to give Trump a fair chance. He certainly can’t do any worse then Obama has these last 8 years. How can you judge some ones performance before they have had the chance to prove themselves . Just consider if Obama had been judged by the same standards you judge Trump! How would the Democratic Party receive that. Well as we all know they would have pulled the race card and have done so on a number of occasions. Not that they really believed it but as a means of distraction from the real issues.
Poor Nancy Pelosi and hiz honor Obamur. They just cannot help it that they were products of a faulty conception.Properly labeled in respectable medical circles as a missed abortion!!!!
with the so-called ACA, for the past 2 years, when filing our income taxes, [using Turbo Tax] when you would get to the end of the form, there is a question…”Do you have health care insurance” this was for each of the forms I had to file…….If you did not “click” on “Yes I have insurance” you couldn’t file the tax form….Thank God we all have insurance…but the point here is not only would you need to file an extension on your taxes if you didn’t have insurance, you were going to be fined $100 a month until you could prove you had insurance…and who knows how long something like that would take…so now you’re being fined for not having insurance, you’re also going to be fined for filing your taxes late…..so, again, glad everyone here has insurance who can afford penalties like that
The government needs to do this –
Create plans that all ins companies must insure. Don’t allow the ins companies to create their own plans because they all differ and you can’t compare. The medicare supplemental ins is setup this way. Plan F is the same coverage for everyone if you select that plan. Then you simply shop price. They all have to deliver the exact same coverage under plan F, so if Blue cross costs $150/mo and Humana costs $160/ month you just sign up with Blue Cross because you get the exact same coverage at a lower cost. This is an absolute must to have honest competition among companies. Before, each company had a plan that was different since each plan was complex we could not figure what the best deal was. Please copy and paste everywhere because only those of us with medicare supplemental ins know there is a system that works perfectly already in place that is simple and just needs to be copied.
