Trump’s health plan folly

Trump’s health plan folly

SNIP..............


ON MARCH 14, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a bipartisan federal budget watchdog group, released an economic analysis of the recent health proposals made by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Their key findings:

“Donald Trump’s plan to repeal and replace Obamacare would cost nearly $500 billion over a decade, or $270 billion incorporating economic growth.

“The plan would nearly double the number of uninsured, causing almost 21 million people to lose coverage.”

poor. They are obsessed with repealing and replacing any kind of Healthcare that exists. They do it again and again in the legislatures. Promises of vouchers for medicare, destroying all of planned parenthoods medical services bit by bit. And how many times have they tried to undo the ACA. Their reasoning will be laid bare some day. I can only speculate.
