Trump says he will roll out new health care plan in next couple of months

Source: The Hill

President Trump said he'll be rolling out a new health care plan in a couple of months, saying it will be a key focus in his 2020 reelection campaign.

"We're going to produce phenomenal health care, and we already have the concept of the plan," Trump told ABC News in an interview aired Sunday night.

"We'll be announcing that in two months, maybe less," he added, when prompted for specifics.

Trump said "we almost had health care done," adding that ObamaCare "is a disaster," but "we've made it serviceable."

"It'll be the BEST health care!" You know how he talks.

All they did was keep trying to repeal the ACA, and they tried to pass one pitiful bill that I don't think anyone liked.

What they DID do, though, is stop the mandate provision, which directly addressed the complaints of a demographic group that had voted Democratic but switched to Trump. And they allowed short term plans to be sold again, so people could buy some sort of policy they could afford.

Mon Jun 17, 2019, 01:16 PM

The ACA was harming a group of people. Making it so that some were taking from their household budget to pay for premiums, but were unable, still, to have decent health care. Those voters voted for Trump. He & the Repubs did a couple of things to make their situation better.

It could have been fixed in another way, I'm sure...but the Democrats didn't address the issue. I reported the issue many times to different people. No one either believed it or cared. That's still the case, as far as I can tell. Your answer indicates that you don't care about them. You didn't suggest an answer, say that something else should or could have been done. You didn't ask any details or show any concern for the people. Your answer was just...well, we need them to throw in their money from their retirement accounts so we can give it to these other people, so THEY can have good health care.

A good program does not rely on harming a productive group of middle class citizens in order for it to succeed in helping others, IMO. Something could have been done, and should have been done before the election. At least some plan devised to give the people hope.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/16/trump-reportedly-insists-healthcare-replacement-will-have-insurance-for-everybody.html


January 16, 2017 Fox News

President-elect Donald Trump revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that he’s almost finished with a plan to replace ObamaCare and vowed to have “insurance for everybody."

---

The president-elect insisted that his plan for replacing the Affordable Healthcare Act is all but finished, and added that care would have “lower numbers, much lower deductibles.” He went as far to say that he’s ready to reveal it alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

This Wikipedia articles covers both the AHCA (American Health Care Act) and the BCRA (Better Care Reconciliation Act)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Health_Care_Act_of_2017

H.R. 1628, American Health Care Act of 2017, Cost Estimate, CBO, 5/24/17
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52752
would increase the number of people who are uninsured by 23 million in 2026 relative to current law.


H.R. 1628, Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017, Cost Estimate, CBO, 6/26/17
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52849
A little bit better: leaving 22 million uninsured in 2026 relative to current law.

Both can only be described as acts of American Genocide. We need to call the GOP the American Genocide Party.

This will be shown to be a lot worse than the ACA and he will lie again making claims how great it is when its more of the same,BS and propaganda , and not a good plan at all. This is another phony pr campaign to claim how great he is, when its the opposite of the truth, again. That's why they have it hidden.
