“Trump released a lengthy written policy on this months ago.”
Yes, I have already read his position paper.
Apparently many of you are willing to allow substituting one socialist program for yet another socialist program.
I, on the other hand, want the feds out of the medical profession.
In addition, Medicare and especially Medicaid should be repealed completely - even though I am stuck with Medicare involuntarily.

It would be nice to have the Feds out of the health business, I agree.
Here are ALL of the proposals made by Trump. Other than #2, I don’t see where Trump is encouraging additional fed intervention.
1. Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.
2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.
3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system.
4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals.
6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states.
7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products.
8. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.
