Trump literally got elected claiming to have concepts of a plan. No doubt the rubes believe them
Remember when Republicans complained about the ACA for years, then got control and brought a healthcare plan to the table that was so bad John McCain famously voted it down? Then, instead of reworking it and trying again, they just gave the fuck up? Kind of like how they did with infrastructure before Biden stepped in and got that done immediately?
Their plan is the same as it ever was. Rich people can afford the best care. Everyone else can die. This plan is not super marketable so that is why they wont make this more transparent.
Ooohhh I know this one!
This must be the same as that one they had like 7 years ago that would be ready in two weeks and would be the best healthcare plan ever?
And then crickets?
Just in case if anyone is still in doubt: there is no healthcare plan. Not beyond “get sick and become a slave or die”
Almost 20 years ago at this point even.
They never have told us what it is and they never will tell us what it is because their healthcare plan is for you to die in the street like the trash they see you as.
I think its pretty clear by now that repuglicans lie more than your average politician
Just like the last time Trump was in office. “Repeal and replace” “With what?” “After we repeal, we’ll tell you”
No build. Only destroy.
They get health care, we don’t. That’s the plan. It’s always been the plan.
Repeal and go f🇺🇸ck yourself —GOP
They haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.
The Republican healthcare plan was Obamacare. That’s what it was once it was clear something had going to change. The Dems let the Republicans basically gut and change whatever they wanted. The insurance industry wrote the damned thing.
That’s why there’s no other plan, and they never repeal it, we already have their plan.
They’ve been trying to tell us they have this secret plan since the ACA passed in 2010. Fifteen years of swearing up and down that it’s some great plan that will help everyone, maybe including poor people if they think it’ll help convince anyone but definitely including insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants.
The problem is, the ACA was already their idea. The 2006 Massachusetts law that he proposed and signed into law as governor was an early version of Obamacare, including the Individual Mandate and a penalty for businesses that didn’t provide insurance to their employees. It was a stopgap measure to overhaul the system so that patients wouldn’t use the ER for health care and run up huge unpaid bills when they could just pay for the care from the correct provider; but unintentionally, it also got 98% of Massachusetts residents insured.
But by the time Romney started campaigning for president in 2012, the GOP had already started moving dramatically to the right, to the point where this lukewarm, milquetoast excuse for a solution was seen as radical. And since the GOP can’t risk doing something that will reduce their voters’ hardship (because paradoxically then they might stop voting for them), they are terrified of coming up with anything that might actually help.
And the Romney plan was based on the Republican counter offer when Bill Clinton was trying to get universal health care passed. Clinton rejected it as not good enough.
And he was right. Still, I wonder how things would’ve been different had Clinton accepted the counteroffer and tried to iterate on it afterwards. The 2004-and-beyond GOP playbook has been to keep the Republican base spiked with anxiety and fear, blame Democrats for it, and use that cortisol to bring out the vote; but if the fear and anxiety about health care had been toned down and reduced their overall fear, maybe maga would’ve had more trouble gaining traction.
Or maybe it would’ve been successfully repealed in 2016. Who knows.
Yep they do. The lower the income, the more billionaire deductible you will pay while not receiving care.
Been saying this for over a decade, all through Obama’s 8 years after he passed a republican health plan they had no republican plan to replace it.
Repeal and replace is a lie you have heard for almost a decade, why believe it now?
The plan is to let people die in the streets if they can’t afford them grotesquely inflated prices of the healthcare system.
That’s part of it, they want that because then people will be so afraid of unemployment, they’re take shit wages for unsafe work.
Ironically that’s the opposite of what the healthcare industry wants. It costs a lot of money to die with health insurance. Lots for both you and the insurance company.
They push preventative healthcare options all over the place and provide hundreds of dollars of incentives each year to people to do the bare minimum because it’s cheaper to prevent issues from the beginning than to treat big ones when it’s ignored.
They want to pay as little as possible, but also get as much as possible out of individuals and company benefits, there’s a balance they have to maintain. Single payer would actually make them more money probably, if it weren’t subject to the same government spending cuts Republicans always want to do as well.
Also, dead people often can’t pay their bills. The average estate often isn’t large enough for medical bills to recoup everything.
The Republicans making these decisions however, aren’t just doing what the insurance companies want though, they’re grifting from everyone so it all results into a balanced evil end where no industry gets what they really want, but the consumer always gets fucked.
Concept of a plan.
For almost 20 years now
Spoiler alert… they don’t
