    The plan is to lay it out there that they’re going to shut down healthcare plans and wait for money to roll in from all the insurance companies to stay in business. In exchange for the money, they’ll be allowed to operate anyway they see fit.

      So many things under capitalism are like that. Food, shelter, water, healthcare. Probably more.

      It’s pretty horrible that so many life or death services are locked behind a paywall.

    Because their plan is take away your healthcare plans and make you pay three times as much to get even less! And then, when it’s time to need your plan, they are going to let them just drop you instead and/or delay any possible care until you die and they keep all the money you give them. Suckers!!!

    “You wouldn’t know my health care plan. It lives in Canada.”

    Except even the Canadian system is better.

    Trump literally got elected claiming to have concepts of a plan. No doubt the rubes believe them

      The sad reality is that most of the people who make up Trump’s base will suffer massively, yet willingly if it means hurting the people they don’t like.

      And the people they don’t like are largely media constructs, strawmen made of racial stereotypes and legions of “wellfare queens” who they’ve been led to believe are robbing them blind. They literally have made an emotional connection between food assistance, medical healthcare, trans people, illegal aliens and the rising cost of groceries.

      Red states are going to suffer the most right now and many, many people are going to die, many of them will have been Trump supporters.

    Their plan is the same as it ever was. Rich people can afford the best care. Everyone else can die. This plan is not super marketable so that is why they wont make this more transparent.

    Just like the last time Trump was in office. “Repeal and replace” “With what?” “After we repeal, we’ll tell you”

    They get health care, we don’t. That’s the plan. It’s always been the plan.

    Remember when Republicans complained about the ACA for years, then got control and brought a healthcare plan to the table that was so bad John McCain famously voted it down? Then, instead of reworking it and trying again, they just gave the fuck up? Kind of like how they did with infrastructure before Biden stepped in and got that done immediately?

    They haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.

      The Republican healthcare plan was Obamacare. That’s what it was once it was clear something had going to change. The Dems let the Republicans basically gut and change whatever they wanted. The insurance industry wrote the damned thing.

      That’s why there’s no other plan, and they never repeal it, we already have their plan.

        The thing is, they’re not making any promises anymore. They don’t have to. They don’t answer to anyone right now: not voters, not courts, not Congress. It’s blame Dems for the shutdown, while Trump builds a ballroom at the White House and gets gifted a crown by foreign leaders.
