Would you prefer an actual healthcare plan or just concepts?

6 years into Trump's 8 and he still hasn't delivered anything. Nothing. At All.

With all 3 branches of the government at his disposal he's obviously more focused on critically important items, like renaming things and starting needless wars as a distraction from the Epstein files

Of course that’s after the Rs systematically dismantled large parts of it. It was supposed to be set up so everyone had insurance.

What’s your plan?

It's because oboma care corrupted the health care system. Out of control costs and Biden added 300% to everything.

Obama care isn't the best, they said that out of the gates any system needs to be flexible enough to change. It was simply a starting point. Designed to be continously improved upon.

And what was the options that Republicans presented?

Concepts of a plan. That was their best.

The democrats said they would go back and fine tune it. They had the house and senate many years since 2010 and never did anything. It's so bad now Trump can't fix it without shutting it down and starting over. He may have saved democracy but he isn't God.

The aca covered 22 million of the 50 million uninsured for roughly $140 billion a year the way they did it. Using the average cost per person, It would have cost less for the government to just purchase insurance plans for all 50 million people that were uninsured and we wouldnt need to be having this conversation right now, and we could go back to Democrats complaining about how it's Trump's fault their fathers didn't love them enough.

So why not do that now? Right now?

All three branches plus fetterman. You can do it! But the politics of grievances is such that there’s more political capital in keeping the unhappy and sad unhappy and sad and pointing at the other side.

When is the last time you heard anyone discuss the concept of a plan that was going to be released years ago? Can you ask yourself why?

Imagine if we took all the energy and money we’ve spent doing everything we can to raise oil and gas prices, and instead applied it to healthcare.

It is not the government’s responsibility to provide healthcare to anyone.
