REALLY?
The guy has messed up just about EVERYTHING he has touched so far…
Why would ANYBODY believe his attempt at healthcare?
The word is all the Trump plan will be is an attempt to make Medicare-for-all a socialist effort by the far left to take away your doctor and cost you more money….
Wait?
Didn’t Trump and the Republican’s pass a tax cut that cost ya m ore. Money?
Aren’t the same people responsible for the largest budget deficit in decades right now?
Oh, we forgot THAT….
And the fact that the same crew wants to get rid of the current medical coverage you have for soil,ething MUCH LESS….
Imagine ALL THAT????
Although Republican states are seeking to overturn the Affordable Care Act in the courts, and the Trump administration has made the unusual decision, as the executive branch, not to defend the law, the congressional GOP has effectively no backup plan for what to do if the lawsuit succeeds. Some conservative proposals exist, such as the Cassidy-Graham plan, which would have turned ACA funding into block grants to states, but so far, they lack congressional buy-in.
[Trump keeps promising great health care. The GOP still has no plan.]
The president, meanwhile, is moving forward this week with an executive order to allow some drug reimportation from Canada, and may roll out more such initiatives over the next year, as part of a strategy Trump advisers have signaled is designed to push back against Medicare-for-all. But regardless of their merits, these sorts of White House micro-initiatives are unlikely to serve as an ideological or policy counterweight to something as transformatively ambitious and attention-grabbing as Medicare-for-all.
That is why Trump is set to make the Democratic plan the centerpiece of a speech next week, the goal of which will probably be to hang the least popular parts of their plan around Democrats’ necks. As one White House official told the Wall Street Journal, Trump is “going to indict and impugn the idea of Medicare for All.”
If history is any guide, that means a barrage of warnings about the perils of socialism and the ways in which Medicare-for-all would disrupt both private insurance and Medicare as we know it today. Trump has repeatedly derided Medicare-for-all as a socialist program, declaring in a USA Today op-ed last year that “The new Democrats are radical socialists who want to model America’s economy after Venezuela.” Medicare-for-all, he wrote, would end Medicare as we know it, take away choice from today’s seniors and serve as a prelude to a government takeover of much of the rest of the economy. That message dovetails with the rhetoric Trump used in his June kickoff rally, when he railed: “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American Dream.”
Trump’s bring-it-on approach mirrors House Republicans’ exuberance earlier this year when Democrats announced they would hold hearings about single-payer health care. “We’re going to pull the curtain back on Medicare for all so the American people can actually assess it,” Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Tex.), told Politico in February. Republicans think they are ready to have this fight, and they think they will win it.
They may well. While polls have shown that Medicare-for-all is popular insofar as it is a promise of government-guaranteed health care, it becomes unpopular when people are informed about the potential costs…
Note…
Trump’s efforts are aimed straight at Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren….
Joe Biden, the leader for the Democrats in the polls doers NOT support Medicare-for-All…
Is Trump gonna give Biden help is his campaign ?
With Democrats in control of the House there will be no new healthcare plan changes….
But there still is a lawsuit sitting other that COULD unhinge everything…
