A few things:

The government should stay out of controlling out of control Healthcare costs because the market has always shown to be ethical and self correcting. Also, I got mine and sucks to be the millions who can't afford to get theirs. Get off my lawn and don't raise my rates sickies!

Trump will reveal his Healthcare plan when he finally chooses to release his tax returns, so don't hold your breath.

Trumps probable Healthcare plan:
Everyone is covered.*
*In the grave

Amen Danny! That is what Trump is doing...as much as possible.

-He's blown up the ACA, by killing its mandates.

-He's burried the penalties/fees for not having coverage

-He's allowed Vets to escape the VA, if the VA is delaying their care

-He's allowed high deductible catastrophic plans again to provide more choice, & drive down premium costs

-He's eliminated the laws that force us to buy meds from American Pharma firms exclusively

-He's forced the medical industry to be transparent and publish pricing, so we can shop around

-He's implemented strategic sourcing so China can't cut off our medical supplies ever again

-He's allowed "freedom to try" experiemental procedures & meds for terminal patients

You are correct, on the first part anyway. Democrats have long wanted universal care. They went with Obamacare instead because they wanted to be bipartisan and thought they could get some republicans in Congress to support it. That didn't happen. As it turn out, they should have just gone for the whole enchilada when they had the chance.

And he WILL eliminate protection for pre-existing conditions.

Because government is incompetent. National defense is one of the only things they do well, & there's Billions of dollars in waste there too.

Here's the easiest way for me to prove the federal governments total incompetence:

12 years since Obama/Biden promised Affordable Health Care. When will we see it?

Trump, as we have recently witnessed, has his own butt covered, no reason to care about the rest of us..

I don’t know if she’s 65 yet, but it doesn’t matter. She’ll never have to worry about not having her healthcare covered.
And? What was this supposed to be - some kind of gotcha? I worked for it and earned it. Others can do the same. Are you saying I didn't?

BTW it's a example of the 10th Amendment in action rather than the fed gov.
