Trump vows to replace ObamaCare with his own alternative
The Hill ^ | 12/25/2023 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 12/25/2023 3:25:08 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump on Monday vowed to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with his own “much better” alternative program, reviving his push to slash the now-popular healthcare option used by millions of Americans.

“Obamacare is too expensive, and otherwise, not good healthcare,” Trump, the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination next year, wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

If it were free market, it wouldn’t be a replacement, just a tear down.

Trump gave a similar interview with Scott Pelley with CBS News in 2016. At one of his very campaign rallies after announced for President - in Phoenix, he blasted conservatives telling us to “get used to it” that we would be “taking care of everyone, okay? Get used to it, conservatives!” This was straight out of the gate.

Trump is for allowing catastrophic insurance plans.

Those would lead to less utilization.

Possibly a lot less.

I can see why Big Med and Big Pharma had a cow about that.

I liked his plan.

Lots of choice, including catastrophic, with a government subsidized option for the truly indigent.

Anyone who wanted coverage would be able to find something that worked for them.

What’s not to love?

Note to Big Med and Big Pharma: Utilization rates suck now anyway, don’t they...

And they’ll get worse the longer you’re in bed with Deep State.

Just like he replaced it in 2016, along with building the wall?

HA!

File this along with the insane promise to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.

“He said he would replace Obama care last time

I want to hear how ?

I want the candidates to tell me how ? Is that fair !!”

Trump would like to support a plan under which people would pay less and get more. A noble aspiration, but it happens to be impossible. That’s why the release of a specific plan is something he keeps promising but doesn’t deliver.

He’s been in this bind since he abandoned his previous support for single-payer.

There are very few health encounters where a free market will produce a satisfactory system - cornea surgery and boob jobs are two examples.

Polio prevention is an example where that doesn’t work. Pregnancy is another. Emergency medicine is a third.

We have Medicare/Tricare Life, and every year meds are cut, and copays for Express Scripts go up, now the Base Pharmacy is the only other place we can get scripts. Some are already OTC, all from China. Hub served 20 years in the USN. He is 83, I’m 75. Lots of restrictions and noncoverage for me, they call them Cosmetic, but not having the procedures impacts my health.
Nexium is the only GERD med I can take. It is a must-have med, I have Barrett’s Esophagus a pre-cancer, and they won’t remove it.

vivek is bought and paid for by the Soros family.

Gonna need some hard evidence of that.

Soros obviously hates America and wants to see her destroyed. Vivek is the ONLY national figure who besides Trump, directly attacks the Left consistently and has a the message of Recovery of America's Free Constitutional Republic.

A lot of Freepers don't like Vivek, mostly I suspect because of their own little pet personal preferences and when pressed come up short of convincing. Also when pressed most show an almost complete lack of understanding the grave danger our country, and they, are in.

Anyway, please provide hard proof of your assertion about Vivek and Soros.

And I'll ask you the same thing I ask the others. If you don't like Vivek, pray tell who is the one who in 2028 will be the presumed presidential frontrunner (almost certainly Trump's VP) who is ready, willing, and able to take on the Leftist firestorm and be the one in 2028, when Trump is gone, to continue and expand MAGA by dismantling the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government including the hideous and utterly unconstitutional Regulatory State - the so-called "Fourth Branch"?

The free market is the voluntary cooperation between buyers and seller with no idiotic government middleman interfering and draining everyone else’s time, money, and incentives.

Before the 1960’s our healthcare was based on the free market principles of patients voluntarily choosing whoever doctor they desired and had a direct doctor-patient relationship. The best healthcare system in the world before government weaseled and muscled in.

FREEDOM WORKS!!!

FREEDOM FIRST MAGA!!!!

It’s a narrowly divided Congress. It’s unlikely to happen.

The rhinos had a lot of pull with Obama however we have to see what Trump has to offer I wager it ain’t bad.
