That said, he doesn't say how this will all be paid for. That's kind of important.

He is basically just removing Obamacare.

He didn't even mention preexisting conditions.

He has said many times that his plan DOES include preexisting conditions

Did you see it here? no. Why wasn't it listed here? Give me a freaking break. Obviously the healthcare companies are not gonna go for that. It was left out for a very good reason.

I hope some of the Trumpettes who voted for this clown with pre-existing conditions are regretting their vote. It's all fun and games until reality hits you.

Yes "in writing" what a concept! If he releases a plan, I expect it to be there. Trump contradicts himself 24/7 so I have to by what he puts in writing.

I have a plan that I can afford, and while the deductible is not low, it's still better than not having health insurance. Trust me, I know what that's like only too well. And under Trump's "plan" I would know it again.

Pay for what? This is a non-plan. It will cost nothing because it will do nothing.

Get government out of healthcare then costs go down.

We can do better than a massive give away to the insurance companies that gives us plans we can't afford to use. And no, I do not see that solution in Trumps plan either.

It addresses some things far better than Obamacare
Like cost transparency.

lmao So the only reason you got health insurance was because government made you. Before obamacare, when it was cheaper you didn't get it and now that it's more expensive and you're forced to get it, it's somehow better. Yea that makes sense.

Please elaborate, because I didn't see any "transparency" in this plan. Like Jams14 said this is not a plan.
