Actually, he said everyone. Better coverage than now, you get to pick your doctors, and plenty of options to choose from.
Provided they do what Trump stated:
Lower cost
Lower deductibles
More people insured
Keep the popular like no exemptions, no spending caps, longer coverage for kids
I really look forward to it!
Yes, I am on board with the changes that are absolutely necessary to keep the whole thing from collapsing. What we have now is unsustainable. And as far as repeal and replace, evidently you have been conditioned to fear that term. There is nothing sinister about it. The law as it stands now is so complex that repeal may be the only option before replace. The media might like you to think that there will be repeal and then... nothing. Repeal will not happen without replacement. Republicans have said this over and over and over. And it had to be Republicans saying it because Democrats have made it clear that they are not, by choice, going to get involved. Which circles me right back to my saying that Democrats feel the legislation is perfection as it is. They could have stated their intentions to get involved in the process to make it sustainable and better but instead they have chosen to stay on the sidelines and act like children.So, you are you on board with the changes necessary? If I recall, the battlecry was "repeal and replace (day 1 too, wasn't it?)

Here's something you'll have that you didn't in the first go round. You'll know about the details beforehand. There will be no middle of the night votes and no statements that we must pass the bill so that we can find out what's in it.
The brain dead leftists among us will hate it, protest it, wear pussy hats, march wearing female genitalia costumes, cry, weep, and all the other infantile shit that they do but the smart ones will already have an understanding of the dire situation we are facing concerning healthcare and will therefore look at it objectively while understanding that it too, may not be perfect and will take future tweaking down the road. You are of course free to choose which side of that works best for you. Remember too, that if Democrats in Congress don't get involved in the process that they have made a choice and you are not obligated to support that choice.
Republicans and conservatives are not the evil people the media and perhaps your education have taught you to believe. Only you can decide whether it's best to have an ideological enemy that fulfills some need or if it's better to have a partner with different viewpoints that you can work with.
You, probably more than most here should be capable of facing reality. Your earlier post quoting me in this thread reads pretty much like the following.Sounds like you're getting ready for a replacement that's worse by starting off saying what we have is unsustainable
Just join us, we don't have to agree how its done, expect something better not something that's cheap enough
You, probably more than most here should be capable of facing reality. Your earlier post quoting me in this thread reads pretty much like the following.
I already have six toys. You're not going to take away those six and you're not going to alter those six. You're going to give me more toys even though you're going to have to find a way to spend less doing it. I want more for less and I won't accept anything different.
That's not reality and that's about as plainly as I can explain it. But it does bring right out into the open the monumental polarization that exists in the nation. Reality? We don't need no stinkin' reality. I've got people I voted for that promised me that I would get these things because I deserve them! Best of luck with that.
My points are, we pay the most in the world and we get mediocre results. We deserve better. We also have a President that undeniably said the previous things. We both know Bernie & Trump made some pretty big claims about healthcare without any specific plans (please let's keep the discussion to our current President). I really want change, that means some combination of cheaper insurance, less confusion, better insurance and nearly everyone insured. I'll support anyone who can accomplish this. Their party is irrelevant.

It really doesn't matter what they put up at this point. It will be compared to the ACA to the point where we will all be sick of it.
I have a theological question for my fellow Americans who happen to be Christian. If you vote to take away your own health insurance and end up dying prematurely as a result, is that suicide and can you still go to heaven in your belief system?
You'd probably be judged upon enriching yourself while ignoring those in need but motivations are more important in these discussions. We can legitimately say most of our conservative posters firmly believe it would be a help to those in need.I have a theological question for my fellow Americans who happen to be Christian.

You only get into southern Jesus heaven. It is a magical place of trailer parks and 30 year old trucks on blocks. Budweiser and govt cheese rain like mana from above.
Keep a careful watch on the deficit stats and see if the Repubs really meant what they said about it. lol
Repubs love deficits caused by tax cuts & military adventurism. Reagan/GHWB quadrupled the debt. GWB doubled it again & blew up the economy at the same time.
They'll be aiming to finish off the middle class as we know it & cripple the govt with debt this go-round.
My prediction is that things will get worse for the Trump base, health wise, and premature death rates will continue to rise.
So when do we get to hear about this Continuous Coverage Incentive?
That's wonderful spin, huh? If your coverage lapses for any reason then pre-existing conditions can be excluded from coverage. The only incentive in that is fear.
Under the ACA in states w/ the medicaid expansion coverage should never lapse. People can go seamlessly from employer sponsored plans to a subsidized exchange plan & medicaid if things get bad enough for 'em.
