After Obamacare
A few points on Obamacare now that Trump has promised the '"Unaffordable"' Care Act will soon be history!"
It is very interesting that Trump is promising everyone will continue to have health care.
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-promises-health-insurance-for-everybody/
Does this mean he will propose medicare for all? Maybe. No details have been released yet.
The good news is that we can stop diverting money from medicare/cal into Obamacare. The amount of money Obamacare robs out of Medicare from $500 billion to a whopping $716 billion between 2013 and 2022. http://dailysignal.com/2012/08/01/obamacare-robs-medicare-of-716-billion-to-fund-itself/
Obamacare is and was theft. Obamacare Insurers Received More than $15 Billion in Taxpayer ‘Bailouts’ http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2016/05/25/Obamacare-Insurers-Received-More-15-Billion-Taxpayer-Bailouts
Two billion alone for the website. Really? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-09-24/obamacare-website-costs-exceed-2-billion-study-finds
The money spent advertising Obamacare. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/07/09/obamacare-ad-spending-to-top-1-billion WOW! Over a billion dollars. Trump and Congress we expect you to put an end to this right away.
In addition to his replacement plan for the ACA, also known as Obamacare, Trump said he will target pharmaceutical companies over drug prices.“They’re politically protected, but not anymore,” he said of pharmaceutical companies. http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/trump-vows-%e2%80%98insurance-for-everybody%e2%80%99-in-obamacare-replacement-plan/ar-AAlUO7U Will he actually put some teeth back into Medicare by forcing big pharma to negotiate drug prices? “They’re getting away with murder,” he said, referring to drug companies. “Pharma has a lot of lobbies and a lot of lobbyists and a lot of power.” “We’re going to save billions of dollars over a period of time,” Trump said
Last but not least is the unconstitutional mandate that everyone purchase insurance should be repealed. "Each year, the penalty will increase to keep pace with inflation and encourage people to buy coverage. For tax year 2016, the penalty will rise to 2.5% of your total household adjusted gross income, or $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, to a maximum of $2,085. " https://www.healthcare.gov/fees/fee-for-not-being-covered/ \
Fining people who can not afford health insurance was never a real solution. Government should not be forcing us into buying anything. Obamacare has remained unpopular despite all the money spent hyping it up. Trumps promise to get Obamacare repealed cannot come fast enough as many Americans will have to pay fines when they file taxes if they did not buy health insurance. Please Trump get it done way before April 15th.
