If having no free market in healthcare will improve things than Trump will be fine in the next election. But if not, in 4 years time there won't be any liberals to hide behind if things go south. Trump should take caution on his move with this.

Yep. Trump and the Republicans damn well better improve our healthcare system. If they don't, they have no one to blame but the Republicans.

I doubt that. I would expect the public option to be somehow linked to the general fund. Meaning deficit spending when it comes to that.

There's a remedy to that too but only 1 senator backs it, mine.

Thanks for admitting that a socialized system cannot support itself without vast amounts of funding from people who don't participate in it. You're a very honest person.

This is from CNBC: Obamacare repeal would lead to 24 million more people without health insurance

Local hospitals hold hikes to 4 percent and under, fear blow if Obamacare is scrapped | Local | lacrossetribune.com

obamacare had severe repurcussions on hospitals.


of course any dramatic change will impact hospitals....not all change is bad.


obamacare had little to do with healthcare....

Before long the articles will state 36 million. And then 45 million. And then 65 million. Etc.

I didn't say that. Although that too would not surprise me.

Deficit spending is central money creation, not a subsidy through direct taxation.

That is exactly right. Trump supporters need to keep this in mind if they don't want the liberals to return to power in 2020. I hope that the people Trump surrounds himself with know what their doing. The anger that made the liberals lose power could easily bounce back to the conservatives.

I thought... without Obamacare healthcare will leave the US so docs can be free to practice in Cuba and France?
