With competition alive and thriving? I’ll be paying a **** of a lot less than I’m paying now. I’ll be cool with that :-)

Congress shall pass no law that does not apply equally to them.
That’s a very specific rule. Isn’t THAT in the constitution? Well it should be.

You seem very confident of that.

No matter WHAT Trump's new plan will be, it will go through the most difficult, resistant approval process that we have ever seen. It will be their idea that Trump's plan MUST be ten times better than odumbo’s horrible plan. The “nay sayers” are on full point waiting for their opportunity to strike, demand and block, ANYTHING to stop something that just MAY be better than the crap called "odumbocare".

I should also add that right now we are paying for a plan that provides coverage, and a LOT of it, for services we will, literally, never need. If competition provides us with a plan that better fits our needs, we will save a lotta dough.

Last few Congresses didn’t give a rat’s hairy hind end about the law. But there’s a new sheriff in town, boys, and I’m thinkin’ he’ll have something to say about that...

Make the f*&#ing thing VOLUNTARY... then it will have to compete with other plans... it’s called Capitalism and it works!

I agree and voice strong objection to the “fascination” with the narrative that government has to be in the picture. Get government out of the business side of health care and open it up nationally to free competition.

Right now we got Trump being quoted as saying he wants gov't health insurance for all

No, Trump never said he wants government health insurance for all. He said his goal is that "all have insurance." That includes for the most part the private insurance Americans choose for themselves on an open, cross-state, unshackled market.

The government should stay completely the hell OUT of health care....

How can TrumpCare be worse than Obama care. My health insurance premiums have skyrocketed; in order to pay the premium we have upped our deductible. In fact, the premium and deductible is so high we never meet the deductible.

I, for one, am looking forward to the health insurance change. Maybe I can finally have the hip and knee surgery that I’ve need.

What burns me up about all of this is that the Republicans have been vowing to repeal Obamacare for years and in the meantime doing nothing in the way of developing some kind of framework for what will take its place. They just sit back and throw rocks! This sort of thing is not limited to one party either. It’s the Republicans, Democrats, and MSM throwing rocks at each other with pretty much no plan to go forward (on most fronts.) Hell they haven’t even decided the timing between repeal and replacement, let alone come up with a replacement.

“meantime doing nothing in the way of developing some kind of framework for what will take its place. They just sit back and throw rocks! “

So, you’ve attending the meetings on the subject and know this or are you just talking from ignorance??

That's good, let's talk about the bill a can be introduced after saying "insurance for everybody" that's "very much formulated down to the final strokes."

Media lie. Price, who hearing is right now, introduced a replacement in May 2015 and I'm pretty sure had one well before that.

Coin investment news HERE .

Lots of my fixed income clients have been buying silver bars/monster boxes of silver dollars as silver is below $20.00. Some have been buying gold, but in the GLD ETF format.

Anyways, news from the non-traditional side of investing.

I think we can count on congress, their staffs, muzzies and other protected classes being exempt from whatever it is.
