Trump has said one thing that I agree with during a debate. He said that the insurance companies are ripping us off and this has to stop.

Ok, so I totally agree that insurance companies are ripping us off.

Could someone please explain what Trump can do to gut the insurance industry and bring about any change whatsoever? What could he possibly do?

Single payor is not the problem . . . Medicare works just fine.

Medicaid sucks because sane physicians and hospitals are not going to accept 15 cents on a dollar (or whatever).

Veterans care sucks donkey balls because of the Veterans Administration and its massive incompetence and indifference.

Funny how Sanders proposes single payer Medicare for all and for his supporters it's just a given that all the pieces will flow into place and everything will be just fine.

Trump announces a preliminary plan (he hasn't even been officially nominated yet, remember?) and chaos and pandemonium along with instantaneous criticism are already flying all over the place here.

LOL. It's amusing.

LMAO sure it does. Like the 42 million dollar gas station in Afghanistan that should have cost 1/2 mil? Or when we got Obamacare and costs when up?

Electric goes down when government deregulates and allows competition. If you don't believe me look at the electricity market in Texas.

He's going to negotiate, duh. All he does is win, win, win, so much so that you would cry ,"Donald, I am sick of winning"*.

But if he makes no progress in a 1-in-17 trillion chance, he would have to bring in the big gun, the Priceline Negotiator®.

Yep. But with that being said, I do like them. I'm surprised that many single, healthy people at my work are reluctant to switch from a traditional insurance plan.
