Trump to WSJ: "I'm willing to keep parts of Obamacare"

[Electrons]

He is a centrist.

Trump is not going to be the nut he was on campaign.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

He has stated in the past that he agrees that people with preexisting conditions should not be denied coverage.

[lakerboy]

Trump will do nothing of major consequence

[Foxx]

The old system sucked. Obamacare sucks. Whatever system is to come will likely suck too. It's an impossible problem.

[Sam Odom]

nothing new

[jjgold]

Who the heck knows what he will do

Some changes I guess

Best way

[Sam Odom]

nothing new

if memory serves

Trump took heat over this in a GOP debate

[stevenash]

Trump is not going to be the nut he was on campaign.

That was pretty much an act, of course he'll be OK, plus there's this checks and balances thing, everybody needs to relax.

[jjgold]

Nashy good post

[Booya711]

Yep...he is keeping the "care" part

[itchypickle]

He and his advisors have stated this already.

Preexisting conditions clause stays

Medicaid stays

Employer mandate goes away

Crossing state lines to compare prices goes in

Tax penalty goes away

Health savings and tax benefits are in

Tax penalty goes away

That would be great. I wish they would refund any penalties already paid. That would be cool.

Steve I have know issue with posters who have common sense.

[slambam]

I think we need health care reform, Obamacare is a good idea, just poorly executed.

[jjgold]

You can't have the government totally involved in healthcare

Insurance companies need more leverage

[Mac4Lyfe]

If you take away penalties, what forces people to buy in? If you don't have people buy in the cost will be enormous.


I just heard that building a wall would cost $20 Billion. I'm not so sure that's going to get done either. We shall see...

[lakerboy]

Trump will do nothing m

More leverage? Insurance companies screw more people than any other business.

[newguy]

They need to double it. The math of universal health care only works when everyone pays into it. It's basically social security. You pay into it when young and healthy and withdraw when old. Anyone w/o healthcare should only be treated for life threatening injuries and then immediately kicked out and taxed until they repay that debt.

And more lobbying spending.

The American attitude. Make the contributors suffer but the let the welfare buns survive

Everybody knows the insurance companies are making minimal profit and give help beyond their means.......................

[eidolon]

Do away with healthcare all together.
Doctors are not needed at the level that we use them.

[itchypickle]

That would be great. I wish they would refund any penalties already paid. That would be cool.

Would be cool. Doubtful anyone gets a direct payment but should make up for it in across the board savings on wages and races and products soon now that we are off the cliff

[stevenash]

Go figure, right.
I'm not usually the voice of reason.
