Deplorable Don Says He May Keep Parts of Obama Health Care Act

Already the schizo lying liar is walking back some of his signature campaign promises.

"Just days after an election in which he vowed repeatedly to repeal President Obama’s signature health care law, Donald J. Trump is sending signals that his approach to health care is a work in progress.

Mr. Trump even indicated that he would like to keep two of the most popular parts of the Affordable Care Act, including one that forces insurers to cover people with pre-existing health conditions and another that allows parents to cover children under their plan into their mid-20s. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he said he was reconsidering his stance after meeting with Mr. Obama on Thursday.

The comments added to a sense of whiplash about the law and its future. More than 100,000 Americans rushed to buy health insurance under the Affordable Care Act on Wednesday, the biggest turnout yet during this year’s sign-up period, underscoring that millions of people now depend on the law for coverage.

Beyond Mr. Trump’s comments, new plans laid out on his presidential transition website this week deviate from what he had proposed during the campaign, and he added some new ideas that appeared to more closely align with the mainstream Republican agenda. The new plans dropped all mention of reining in high drug prices, for example, and added new language about modernizing Medicare, which some saw as a nod to congressional efforts to give people vouchers that they could use toward buying private health insurance.

Even the powerful health care industry, which invested hundreds of millions of dollars in preparing for business under the Affordable Care Act, is disoriented about what to do next — and scrambling for ways to avoid a big financial shock. A repeal of the act would mean the loss of millions of customers for insurance companies and an onslaught of uninsured people to hospital emergency rooms for basic care."

Does it upset you that he would do that?

No, it amuses me. I guess you forgot how often he screeched that on Day One he would repeal Obamacare. This is right from his website: "On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare."

trump's supporters must be suffering vertigo now. :)
 
get rid of the mandate
get rid of policies that are approved by "Obamacare" ( psychiatric/substance abuse/pregnancy requirements.

Use Health Savings Accounts to pay for routine medicine -allow sales of catastropic coverage only.

In short let consumers buy what they want.

It's a start. Who knows how it will end up, but it's such a cluster F*** he can't screw it up worse.
There should be a public option which is funded by deductions from salary like income tax.
