Trump to unveil healthcare plan

Also Newt Gingrich left out the part about going to the Supreme Court to have the pre-existing condition coverage mandate (and the rest of the ACA) ruled unconstitutional.

@Larry you mean you believe the article over President Trump.
(Just joking with you)

Trump has consistently made it clear that pre existing conditions will be covered.
There IS a way to solve the health insurance issue, though. Get the government out of it all the way around.

Thats not 'the story from The Hill'. Thats an opinion piece by Newt.
Anyway, tg is right. Trump still thinks the plan is in development, to be released any week now.

No, I believe that nothing you say about Trump can be trusted.

Trump has talked about preserving pre-existing condition coverage and even signed a totally ineffectual EO on it.
But the solicitor general's case in front of Scotus is quite real.

Ok. I'm not trying to die on this hill. I just offered another viewpoint.

I'm old enough to remember what the health insurance market was like before politicians (oddly enough, the democrats) decided to jump in and "fix" it. Any insurance company was free to offer their products in any state they wanted to, the consumer had tons of options, competition kept premiums low. You could buy Major Medical plans with very low premiums. As an example, the insurance policy would pay 80% of your medical bills and you paid the other 20% until you had spent 1,000 out of your own pocket, then the insurance paid 100% 25 bucks a month. If you had a pre existing condition there would be a 6 month period that that condition was not covered, then after 6 months your pre existing condition was covered.
Then politicians (democrats) decided to "fix it" and regulated the hell out of it, and created the very mess you think they are going to fix now. So you see Obama care as a good thing, I see it, and your faith in the democrats as well, and some of the dumbest shit imaginable.

Mitt Romney (Rep) fixed the one in Massachusetts. This was prior to Obama being President.
I actually thought it was a good idea, since prior to this lots of people didn't have health insurance, which is a bloody stupid way to go through life unless you're very wealthy.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I think that the republics controlled BOTH the US house and senate for the first two years.
To say that Senator McCain was the only reason the new republic healthcare plan is not in place is nave. The republics had 52 people in the senate in 2016-2018. Plus control of the house PLUS the President.

McCain was THE deciding vote.
Do keep up, please.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

How's the vaunted NHS working out for the Brits nowadays?

He was one of many votes.
It is one thing to say to get rid of ACA, but without alternate, it is not a surprise the overall majority of the Republic Controlled Senate voted against it.
If Senator McCain were so powerful, he would have been president

Vaunted by who? Most Americans who talk about the NHS seem to be wingnuts trying to frighten people into believing that that that's what the Democrats have in store. The NHS has very little in common with Obamacare, Romneycare, or even the Canadian system. You won't hear me defending it, other than to say that my own personal experiences with it have been positive, as have my experiences with the US system (except for when they rooked my father in law). It's underfunded, and hopelessly bureaucratic, but a lot of Brits will defend it when challenged.
-
There's lots wrong with socialized medical systems, but that's by design.
There's some sort of mechanism in those systems that say "we only have $X, so what level of care do we need to deliver". As Phibes says, its underfunded. But that's almost by design.
In the U.S. - insurance defaults to covering the best treatments and the cost gets pushed to the private sector. And the cost continually grows. Either you can afford it or you can't.
It's not like the average consumer can negotiate the particulars of healthcare ( doctor rates, treatments alternatives, etc). - unlike other big purchases (home, cars, etc.)
-
Your first thought when you get sick or have a serious accident shouldn't be 'Oh God, can I afford this?'.
