Once again Trump preempted his competition. Where is Cruz's healthcare plan? Trump now has plans on paper for immigration, taxes, and now healthcare. Of course everybody will pretend this never happened and will keep repeating that he is for single payer.

Until the day when people write personal checks to pay for their healthcare costs we will continue to pay $1000 a night for a hospital room. Insurance companies and doctors are in it together.

Good luck people. I knew he was a blow hard with no plans just like the rest of the Republicans.

Lets modify the Trump version slightly - no coverage, no help or else make it mandatory. Otherwise, no one would sign up for health insurance, no insurance company would go along with it.

Yes, and it is best to use it for most expensive drugs. Mu drugs are very expensive, too much to believe!

I can tell you what the scam is in the ACA plans. The deductibles. They are pure gravy to the health insurance companies.

The Medicare Advantage plans and ACA silver plans (for those age 60-64) in total cost about the same - around $9,000-$10,000 a year. And yet, most Advantage plans have a ZERO deductible, ZERO. The same insurance companies sell both type of plans, they just make $3,000-$5,000 more in the deductibles per person on the ripoff ACA plans.

Consider. Would you like an ACA silver plan, subsidies applied with no deductibles? With total costs reduced for younger participants?

kiss my ass with those subsidies...thats no different than buying something for $100 and getting a $20 mail in rebate 6 months later (if youre lucky)..........Find me a plan under $75 a month and less than $1000 Deductible and my interest is piqued.....even then im probably still not gonna buy, simply for the principle of the government sayin I have to......
