It is pretty simple, call around and self insure. We did, and saved $460 from what it would have cost us on the exchange. It's still $740 a month.

So you're going to replace insurance with.... insurance?


How do you expect we arrive at this "competitive pricing"? I've heard a lot of "repeal and replace", but replace with what? That's one of the first things I want to hear from President-elect Trump.

It's a half step compromise that satisfies almost no one.

We need to go to single payer, but that's highly unlikely now. [/quote]Trump has been in favor of single payer in the past, actually rather outspoken about it. It will be interesting to see if he will take repeal and you are on your own from the Republican congress.

Could be, sure. Never will be. This is the corporate version of "trickle-down" economics.


The company COULD just pay you more, regardless. Neither are going to happen...

No worries.

Trump promised "to replace Obamacare with something wonderful that will take care of everybody and the government is going to pay for it".

It will be the first promise/ intention that will not be realized.

Trump the candidate will not be Trump the president.

He like all presidents will make mistakes, some of them yuge. Things will go bump in the night. Crap will happen all over the world beyond the control of the US and he will be blamed. Some of his admin will screw up "biggy". And some good will come out of it. Life will go on.

Anything passed by one party by lying to the American people and by counting on the "stupidity" of the American people to get it passed deserves to die.

Care to answer the questions? How do you replace insurance with insurance? That's not replacing.


The only time I've heard Trump get specific about the "replace" part of that phrase, he seemed to reference some sort of single-payer system. Do you feel that's a step in the right direction?
