Note to BI: It’s not a healthcare plan.
It’s an insurance revamp.
If it involves what I think it does, then no, not here we go again :-)
This is a huge issue that a lot of Americans believe is an important issue based on polling data. The polling also shows that the Rats have this issue in an overwhelming way. Many on this db might want to ignore the health Insurance issue but Trump cannot. Trump has to balance this issue between those 156 million that have decent employer insurance plans and those that need better plans.
The money can be used to pay for deductibles or any other listed medical care. The advantage is it's medical care based on capitalism. The ‘customer’ makes the call ...
Big League! And PDJT just might succeed this time, what with John McCain mouldering under the sod.
I hope its better than the former sell out to the Insurance Companies designed by that anti Trump idiot, former Speaker Paul D Ryan, who was owned by the Insurance Lobby via his wife’s family, and she a Lefty Dem.
I hope it will help me. I pay over 400 a month for a family of 4 with large deductibles.
I pay over $800.00 alone out of pocket just for myself often pay 30% of all medical expenses and have a 6,000 a year deductible.
Unfortunately it is always “a plan” when Trump mentions it.
Grates on the ears of a conservative base, no doubt, though probably speaks to many expectations in the middle of the spectrum.
Let’s just hope his big-guv, Democrat advisors (Javanka) are kept out of it.
How about a phenomenal wall?
In my modestly well-informed opinion, it was the promise of a national health care plan that carried Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
It will be interesting to see what he comes up with.
President Trump is bringing this up as a campaign issue. There’s no way the Dems in Congress will consider it.
You miss a point, (and I am not standing up for doctors), but what is billed to the insurance companies, Medicare, Tricare and the rest, are not what is paid. Every one of them have a pricing list based on procedures, (ICD), which they use to deny payment or underpay claims.
I have dealt with this issue for years, overseas, where you need to file your own claims because the doctors/hospitals have no idea how to document a claim the way the insurance company’s claim processors want it. (I did the preparation of my own and other retiree’s claims).
I have seen the claim processor decide that cataract surgery, in an out patient facility was a fifteen minute routine office visit. That one took over four months to get it paid correctly and they still wanted to deny payment for the replacement lens because the surgeon ordered it but the patient paid for it when it was delivered for the surgical procedure.
PDJT, secure the damn border.
It is my opinion from talking to people from MI and OH before the election that Trump carried them on 1) fair trade and jobs and 2) the wall. He’s made some progress on both and will have plenty of progress to point to by this time next year.
It will be a painful reminder of the useless "repeal & replace" promise Republicans made over and over. The GOPe will scuttle it in hopes of embarrassing DJT. They hate him and us.
What might that be?
They are important issues but, the people I talk to, even in good old Republican Texas, always bring up health care. And that is confirmed in the polling. Unfortunately, in my mind, Trump cannot avoid it.
Oh Ye of little faith, begone.
Trump is carrying the entire conservative movement on his back.
The one and only thing I give congress credit for is the judges.
This is a big deal, because they and their opinions will outlast both the current congress as well as the current President.
You didn't even wait to see a single detail of his proposal, before you began to denigrate it.
Gutless. It is exactly what nervous nancy will do.
It is true that suburban females seem to be the demographic that swung the balances away from the results in 2016 to the loss of 2018 and it is the womenfolk who are perennially preoccupied about healthcare. They are the caregivers, they are the ones who keep track of these things in almost every family. To them, healthcare access to healthcare and paying for healthcare are fundamental, driving issues.
Therefore, I can understand the reasoning which leads the Republicans to have something on the table for the 2020 election. It had better be good or it will backfire. If it is not better than good, the media will make it worse than Russia-gate.
The problem is, if it is good enough to make suburban females happy, as the perception among them is created by the media, it will inevitably be too expensive and it will offend some portion of the Republican base.
if the media can convince these suburban women that the plan falls short, it backfires.
