Good day all. As you are aware, the GOP(e) is doing all it can to save their phony baloney jobs by sinking Donald Trump. One of the things they accused him of was supporting socialized medicine.<\/p>\n

\"Obamacare,<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trump may have looked at that years ago, but thanks to Obamacare, we know how it works, or actually doesn\u2019t work. Last night, Donald Trump answered his critics yet again by releasing his ideas for killing Obamacare and building something that actually works. Here are some of the details from Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

After months of promising to repeal ObamaCare, but failing to spell out how \u2014 and what would replace it \u2014 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump finally revealed some specifics Wednesday night, including doing away with the individual mandate that requires everyone to have health insurance, an apparent reversal of his previous support for the provision. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can see the RINO\u2019s getting ready to scream \u201cFlip Flop!!\u201d on Trump changing his mind om the mandate. What I think happened is that Trump has seen just what the mandates have been doing and changed his mind.<\/p>\n

The seven-point plan, posted on the GOP frontrunner\u2019s website, slammed the Affordable Care Act, saying it has \u201ctragically but predictably resulted in runaway costs, websites that don\u2019t work, greater rationing of care, higher premiums, less competition and few choices.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump is just repeating what everyone with any sense knew was going to happen when this monstrosity was shoved down America\u2019s throats.<\/p>\n

His Republican rivals have accused him of advocating “socialized” medicine, but his latest plan pushes back on that — and could help rebut charges that his health care platform lacked details.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When will the RINO\u2019s learn? This is at least the second time they have accused Trump of something, or of not having any plans, and then Trump drops one on their desks.<\/p>\n

Trump also wants to expand the sale of health insurance across state lines. Doing that, he says, will allow full competition in the market and \u201cconsumer satisfaction will go up.\u201d He proposes \u201cprice transparency from all healthcare providers,\u201d saying individuals should be able to shop around for the best prices for any sort of procedures, exams or checkups. <\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Being able to shop across state lines is something I\u2019ve supported since day one. Now for some due diligence. I pay for my own insurance. I\u2019ve seen my premiums double since Obama shoved that pile of manure down our throats. I see ads all the time and since they aren\u2019t in my state, I can\u2019t look into buying a policy from them.<\/p>\n

The New York businessman also wants to allow a tax deduction for insurance premium payments, and expand the Health Savings Account program. \u201c<\/b>These funds can be used by any member of a family without penalty. The flexibility and security provided by HSAs will be of great benefit to all who participate,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have an HSA and actually had to dip into it this year. One of the problems is I\u2019m limited in how much I can put into it, and what I can spend it on. Anyway, here is the overview of the Trump health plan from his web site:<\/p>\n

Congress must act. <\/em>Our elected representatives in the House and Senate must:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system. Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn\u2019t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions? As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance. We must review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want healthcare coverage can have it.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate. These accounts would become part of the estate of the individual and could be passed on to heirs without fear of any death penalty. These plans should be particularly attractive to young people who are healthy and can afford high-deductible insurance plans. These funds can be used by any member of a family without penalty. The flexibility and security provided by HSAs will be of great benefit to all who participate.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals. Individuals should be able to shop to find the best prices for procedures, exams or any other medical-related procedure.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Nearly every state already offers benefits beyond what is required in the current Medicaid structure. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead. States will have the incentives to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve our precious resources.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Is this a perfect plan? No it isn\u2019t. There are things in it that people won\u2019t like. However, there are things in it that a lot of people will like. This is the basis for a discussion on a detailed replacement of Obamacare. I haven\u2019t seen anything from the other candidates, (Which, in Cruz\u2019s case, surprises me), and I know that if Marco the Rubot or The Hunchback of Ohio, (Kasich) were to somehow win the election, there will be no repeal of Obamacare at all.<\/p>\n

    \"snob_che_frame\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    There is yet another debate for the Republican candidates tonight. It will be interesting to see how they respond to Trump\u2019s healthcare plan. As I\u2019ve mentioned, I haven\u2019t seen anything from the others. Next up, I suspect Trump will drop an overview plan on how to rebuild the economy after 16 years of recession or general bleah.<\/p>\n

    Thatisall<\/p>\n
