Freedom under Trumpcare: $14 600 for a 64-year old, $1700 under ACA (revolution, economic, administration)

Medical care "insurance" is just another scam for investors to skim a vast fortune from the misfortune of others.

Abolish insurance - and get government out of healthcare entirely - then prices will drop.

Prices might drop, but healthcare will still be unaffordable for millions of Americans.

I posted this days ago and of course was immediately told it was 'fake news'.

Not as long as 99.99% of the population is clueless about medicine. Health care scammers can just push whatever they can push onto desperate sick people and get rich in the process. The health care "market" can never work.

Relying on everyone to pay out-of-pocket for the medical treatments of their children and themselves is to send millions to their deaths. This is the reality. If you get severely disabled and need care 24/7 to the tune of $200 000 a year without going insane from excruciating pain, can you afford it?

What do we do with people not rich who are already sick or injured?

What happens to someone not rich who drops almost dead or in a near fatal car accident tomorrow?

What do we do with the rich who want HC insurance?

or people that age who are somewhat poor, but make too much to qualify for Medicaid?

The new healthcare plan is to help the middle class and that's what Trump campaigned for.

Sweet! The old and week are getting screwed, as God intended. God Bless America.

So you don't think people aged 50-64 make up part of the middle class? If so, Trump is reneging on his campaign promises to them.

I think he spoke more to the working class. This will negatively affect them.

Amateur psychology and central government control don't mix well in crafting programs. Is this guy a genius, or just another opportunist?


Plenty more way wrong projections in the link.

So what? That doesn't invalidate this study. The CBO couldn't have predicted that the GOP would obstruct the ACA's implementation.

This is not a flaw in the study, it is a criticism of the CBO's past predictions.
