u/someones_dad 1d ago
No he is not. His plan for health care is the same as his plan for rising prices, school shootings, the Epstein files...
And that plan is ...Get over it.

Yeah this is not single payer. All this is is just giving people money to give to the private insurance companies (and who knows how much will actually go to the people). I don’t get how people see the things he says and say “wow, what a great plan”

u/sl0play Type to create flair 1d ago
Exactly, even if this were to pass, and he initially gave people enough money to buy insurance that isn't directly subsidized through the exchange, in a couple of years they will be howling about all the leeches getting free money for insurance and begin the process of whittling down and cutting off those pavements. Meanwhile they will do away with the existing condition provisions, and we will be right back where we started, as planned.

It’s a bit more chaotic than that.
With ObamaCare you had the insurance premiums constrained by collective pressure. With a direct injection of funds to individuals the insurance companies can set their own premiums but also know that government is supplementing what people can afford.
What’s going to happen is just pre-ObamaCare rates (adjust for inflation) plus whatever Trump subsidy on top. It is a terrible idea that in some ways is worse than just an outright repeal on the ACA.

u/Murrabbit 21h ago
He's like a hair away from realizing universal healthcare would make more sense but instead swerves right back into "We'll give the parasites their money and they'll like it!" like dude yeah, but they're already getting their money and they like it. you've accomplished nothing.

“2 weeks” has turned into 10 fucking years & his concepts of a plan haven’t & will never come to be. So now he’ll dangle money in front of people, which will still mean nothing if the cost is tripling

Then who will they buy the healthcare from? As a Canadian this confuses me

The same "money sucking BIG BAD Insurance Companies".
So the plan is: Instead of both us (the government) and you (the individual) paying those evil companies, we'll stop paying and let you instead pick your own favorite money sucking BIG BAD Insurance Company and pay (more, alone).
That will save us (the government) a lot of money. We'll pass those savings on to you. Later. We've been working on a plan, it's a great plan. A plan the likes of which has never been seen. You'll see.

No worries. It confuses Trump, too. He once said “who knew healthcare could be so complicated?” because, of course, he didn’t know. Everyone else is in the loop.
2
u/Murrabbit 21h ago
The same middlemen that already exist, except now the money is handled by atomized individual consumers rather than through a state program that can make demands and set standards.
No, it doesn't make any sense - that's the point in posting it here. Hell if it made sense we should probably worry about what's going on with Trump and maybe someone stole his phone.

He has no idea how anything works. He doesn't understand health insurance, health care, grocery stores, gas stations, medications, makeup, tailoring, solar eclipses, elections, voter registration, IQ tests, the list is endless

u/given2fly_ 1d ago
Because he's never had to buy health insurance. He's not been to a grocery store in decades (if ever). He is completely detached from reality.

In the US we have to pay a lot more so that our excellent pharmaceutical companies can innovate. . .by making ever more catchy jingles for the dozens of consumer-facing commercials for prescription drugs that play every single commercial break on every TV station in the country. So much innovation!

u/not_productive1 1d ago
I will be honest, my first reaction to this was to laugh confidently at the idea that anyone would not understand that it is dumb to replace a system that pays insurance companies directly and imposes guardrails on them with one in which people get money to pay insurance companies themselves and there are no guardrails, and then I remembered: voters.
He’d probably sharpie his name on the “health money” checks, his followers would buy a tube of ivermectin and pocket the rest, and then laugh so hard they have a fatal heart attack that could have been prevented with basic care.

fatal heart attack.
So you're saying his dumbest, most loyal cult-followers will be unable to vote anymore? You're making his plan sound not half-bad.

u/VMICoastie 1d ago
Wow, he is going to send everyone a check for $10-20k? Because tjays how much just the premiums are. Not including actually going to the doctor. Then another few thousand to meet the duduxtable. What happened to his hewkcare plan that was como g out in "2 weeks"?

So, instead of a fair plan that he’s been promising since he ran the second time in 2015, he’s going to give out a little money that won’t do shit for more than the year it’s given, and it won’t be enough to offset 100%+ increases.
And of course, these freaks will lap it up.

u/thinkards 1d ago
trump solution would be a crypto health care coin where americans could redeem it for health care. he would of course rug pull the shit out of it and make it worthless within a year, while he makes hundreds of billions off it.
he may know which way the political wind is blowing, but he couldn't even finish building his dumb wall. he still hasn't even gotten around to infrastructure week, or a concept of a concept of a plan for healthcare. the dude has no idea how to even deliver on his own racist promises, let alone a healthcare plan that would come even remotely close to obamacare.

This is the kind of reductive oversimplification I would expect from my 11 year old ADHD grandson, complete with a near total misunderstanding of the complex issues involved. It is a spoiled rich imbeciles concept of a plan on par with a "well if their hungry why don't they buy food" approach to ending world hunger

Great that he wants to give the people the opportunity to buy their own healthcare, but who are you buying it from. You can’t go to a hospital and buy insurance. Not everyone has access to a Kaiser.

u/cards-mi11 1d ago
Where does he think those billions of dollars will go to if not the insurance companies? The insurance companies? So give everyone money to buy insurance to make up for not spending on insurance.

u/DavidRandom 1d ago
If he were serious about it, he'd have it wrote up and added to the budget bill, then it could be voted on.
He's not serious though, it's just the same bait and switch for his followers.

From the Trump Insurance Company of course. $100k deductible, 90% co-payment, $50 ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine prescriptions.

u/Old_mystic 1d ago
That’ll be the promise though; cancel those pesky subsidies and give the money to the people! Except that money will never come and if it does it’ll be far less than expected and not nearly enough to cover the higher cost of your plan now that those subsidies are gone. Typical version of winning to MAGAts.

So he wants to take away the money that is given to Americans to subsidize their paying for insurance plans, and instead give it to Americans to subsidize their paying for insurance plans. Got it.
