Why is Donald trump so ugly!
Who cares what the President looks like? Did you see his wife.
I did, and how he shows disrespect for her. Only for that I find him despicable.
Trumps solution to healthcare is the following: (directly quoted from an interview)
"Q: ObamaCare is one of the things you call a disaster.
TRUMP: A complete disaster, yes.
Q: Saying it needs to be repealed & replaced.
TRUMP: Correct.
Q: Now, 15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system. Why were you for that then and why aren't you for it now?
TRUMP: As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It could have worked in a different age. What I'd like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state. I have a big company with thousands of employees. And if I'm negotiating in BY or NJ or CA, I have like one bidder. Nobody can bid. You know why? Because the insurance companies are making a fortune because they have control of the politicians. They're making a fortune. Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have yourself great plans. And then we have to take care of the people that can't take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system."
That quote is taken from a source with a series of interviews which structure the rest of my opinion.
That plan sounds pretty good yeah? Unfortunately it's concerning that the alternative to obamacare is: open up state borders for insurance companies to increase competition.
Maybe it'll work but it really sounds like a half-assed solution that is not going to help people with preexisting conditions. Trump acts as if competition will force insurance companies to cover people with preexisting conditions. I really don't see why or how they would be motivated to do that. They lose money on people with preexisting conditions, period.
Insurance is not about paying for something that you know is already broken, insurance deals in future potential risk. The model of being covered under insurance is invalid for people who already know they will need constant health care services for the rest of their lives.
If there is not a law in place that makes healthcare a free public service for everyone (paid by taxes) or forces insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions, people with preexisting conditions are screwed.
You might be right but in the end its wasted energy to argue. The republicans didn't wanted Obama-Care and blocked everything they could, so the remaining Obama-Care is just a drop on a stone. And T just wants to turn back so much from Obama, to level himself higher. Its not about Obama-Care, its about the mental deficits of that new president. They will change / replace with a much worse solution and call it the best thing possible. Either way, didn't T say in the media days back that no president has done more then he in the first weeks? Actually he is right, no one screwed up that much before.
The pity is, the daily entertainment will harm the world and the americans (!!) a lot.
