Paying cash to cover patients with the virus who will need prolonged stays in ICUs is a hell of a lot more expensive than paying for their insurance premiums under Obamacare.

Trump is so blinded by his hatred of all things Obama, he can't think straight. Does his cash payout only cover treatment for virus patients, or is Trump going to carve out any charges for managing those patients other preexisting conditions and make them pay for those bills? To say nothing of covering any other family members until they get seriously ill.

I hope to see Pelosi counter his insanely expensive idea with a push to get more uninsured people covered for all their healthcare needs through Obamacare. It's the only thing that makes sense.
