Trump vows insurance for everybody in Obamacare replacement plan

[Rollo]

67. Which may mean a return to the clown coverage of pre-ACA days, where sure you could get "insurance",

but it turned out to be a big joke, where the premiums cost more than any possible benefits. No major medical, no brand name prescription drug coverage, you'd be better off bargaining with doctors and hospitals and pharmacies.

I think Trump and the R's are going to find out how difficult it is to craft a replacement for the ACA that doesn't involve hurting millions of people. Or maybe they just don't care?

One bright spot is Trump's statement that he wants Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate prices directly with drug companies. This is something the Dems couldn't achieve with the ACA, too much push back from Big Pharma. I doubt however that the GOP will support that either.

I don't have my hopes up for any of this.
