I dont and didnt want:
Hillarycare
Romneycare
Obamacare
or
Trumpcare
What, you don’t want the same plethora of insurance choices federal employees get? If that’s what Trump’s aiming for, I’m cool with it.
No.
“troubling”.
No. Nothing is known about what the final law will look like. Makes sense to wait.
Apparently IBD isn’t a Trump fan . How about let’s see what we get first before casting doubt and fear .
Make the f*&#ing thing VOLUNTARY... then it will have to compete with other plans... it’s called Capitalism and it works!

I’m in the Wait and See camp.
There are ways to do this via the private sector. Just don’t make it mandatory.
Obamacare, Hillarycare, JohnRobertscare, Romneycare? Worse? NOT POSSIBLE.
I dont want the government involved in healthcare PERIOD
What kind of whimpering doofus would even ASK such a question? Has the person ever looked at photos of ALL properties around the globe bearing the Trump name? Are ANY of them less than fabulous? The man will not tolerate mediocrity.
How much will you be cool with paying for it?
Never underestimate Congress's ability to make things worse.
Good luck with that one. It’s a regulated industry. That said, I want what federal employees get: lots AND lots of insurance choices. In as free a market as we can get.
Sounds a bit like "we have to pass Obamacare to see what's in it". Right now we got Trump being quoted as saying he wants gov't health insurance for all that's "very much formulated down to the final strokes." My bottom line is we don't need Obamacare taxes replaced with Trumpcare taxes.
Fabulous is expensive.
“’We’re going to have insurance for everybody,’ Trump told the Post...”
Mandates (i.e., more government coercion)?
Uncle Sugar sends a free policy to everyone’s door ($25 trillion deficit, here we come)?
?
I would like to see alternatives like government health research dollars turned into chronic illness solutions. Otherwise that is left to drug companies. Speaking of which, Trump will roll back onerous FDA restrictions that are mainly driven by butt covering and bureaucracy.
There are elderly I know with more than a dozen doctors all sucking down medicare dollars. Many doctors lurk in hospitals waiting to pounce on any poor soul who gets admitted so they can check them for proper toe function or other useless things.
The whole hospital system has to be changed from a patient = cash cow, hook em up, mentality to a minimal acute care staff. That will be a long and arduous process and must start with cost control by patients and insurance companies. Some people are going to complain mightily but we must ignore the few for the good of the many.
