I suspect the pre-existing condition when purchasing new insurance will bring in some extra monies. Then, we will all fall in line to be screwed.

I am not a medical professional, but I do believe the hard work and years of study that it takes to become a doctor or surgeon should be rewarded with very good pay.

They literally have no context of history....maybe we can exhume Bin Laden too as a reminder...and remove American auto manufacturing as well.

OK. I have a medical office business, so a wage would be profit. How much wage do I get, and who or what determines my wage/profit?

I see that AARP and the American Medical Association has come out against Trumpcare:

Perhaps the proposed law should be 70 pages, instead of 66.

Some of this is indeed splitting hairs. Physicians should make a good wage. I have zero problem with that. No part of health care should be a part of the markets that people can invest and "profit" from.

It seems like you're saying insurance should not be a part of healthcare. Though there is a place for insurance even in socialized healthcare countries - the gov't plan does not usually cover the catastrophic issues, or at least satisfactorily.

The free market should determine it. A quality product for a fair price.

Yes, I have said that for years.

Generalization. I can say " it's the greatest thing ever in the whole world" and neither of our statements really mean much.

That is if people can afford to pay the pre-existing condition rider. It also rolls back the pre-existing condition mandate. This means even asthma and being a woman are pre-existing conditions again and can get discriminated in the marketplace.
