so now instead of extending the subsidies for one year that help Americans afford health insurance, he'd rather just eliminate the ACA completely and hurt tens of millions of Americans in the process, including covered children just to not give a "win" to the Democrats

    this is the same man who appealed to SCOTUS in the middle of the night after being court ordered to send out SNAP benefits…

    y'all get it yet?

      So, instead of giving money to the insurance companies at a negotiated, regulated rate, we’re giving money to people to give to the insurance companies outside of that regulated system?

      Yes, this will help the people get better, cheaper health insurance. /s

      So the money still ends up with insurance companies, and instead of collective bargaining on prices we’re all on our own? Of course, he knows if he sends out checks to people with his name on it his mouth-breather supporters will eat it up. That’s the only reason.

    3. Lolol maybe if you give each person $100k a year tax-free JUST to be spent on healthcare they could actually afford a medical emergency when it happens.

      WE NEED SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE. Enough of this garbage. ACA was only a stopgap measure to tamp down on the vampiric practices of healthcare companies- let’s eliminate them from the equation entirely and guarantee care for everyone.

    5. Obamacare/ACA is not providing healthcare. It’s simply a law that makes sure you can’t be denied for preexisting conditions and that subsidies healthcare costs so people can afford it

      Hey fuckface. Instead of tweeting, Put forth an actual plan to vote on.

      This is still nothing, and it doesn’t get us any closer to opening up the country again.

      Your hospitals are charging mothers for skin-to-skin contact with their newborns. It’s not just the insurance companies – the whole rotten system is run for profit.

    8. Só, we are still sending the money to the insurance companies, just without any regulations around what they must provide in return.

    9. Crazy world where American taxpayers fund Argentina’s public healthcare but not our own.

      America First

    10. How about universal healthcare? No need for giving it to insurance companies if they don’t exist

    11. SausageBuscuit on

      If the insurance companies are “big and bad” then why the fuck are they so adamant about not having single payer healthcare?

      Oh yeah, most politicians are in bed with them and this is just a “look at me, I’m the hero” veneer he’s spreading to make himself look good.

      It’s going to suck total ass once he does this and his idea of a replacement is nothing more than “people should work at companies that can afford better plans, or contribute to an HSA.”

    12. he’s actually right that this is the worst healthcare system in the world per dollar spent, and that we should cut insurances companies out of it.

      maybe he can start working on medicare for all?

    13. jkksldkjflskjdsflkdj on

      lol, he ain’t giving you a dime republicans. All money is his in his opinion and he ain’t spending it on you.

    14. I dont think the ACA is about what it is anymore than its also called Obama care, and Trump wants it gone because he was joked about at a correspondents dinner once and now he wants it gone and replaced by something else, and he’ll attach his name to that something else just because of his narcissism and need to see his name anywhere and everywhere.

    15. #Argentina got $40B from the US.

      #It would cost $30B to fund the ACA for one year in the US.

      #Argentina has universal healthcare.

      so the trump administration essentially funded Argentina’s government-sponsored healthcare, but won’t fund the ACA *subsidies* for Americans.

      Fucking guy is off his rocker. The people who voted for him, GOP and Supreme Court are culpable.

    17. Notice president fuckface doesn’t address the massive rise in premiums coming. He literally wants the government to just burn. He won’t do anything that he can’t spin as a “win” for him.

    18. They really just want a return to the 2008 model of healthcare where you can get denied care for pre existing conditions, lifetime caps in coverage and all sorts of other awful shit

    19. If they actually sent out checks (which is a bad idea), insurance companies would immediately jack their rates even more sky high. Hes so close to having a solution, yet so far away. He can see the insurance companies are bad…now let’s eliminate them and go to a single payer system.

    20. MasterApprentice67 on

      I agree, we should get rid of all the insurance companies. But let’s replace it with a nice national healthcare system.

    21. naththegrath10 on

      He literally said the government should just provide health care and cut out the middle man. This is how we trogon horse a national healthcare system

    22. Great, so insurance companies can discriminate against existing conditions again, including such serious issues as seasonal allergies or bronchitis.

      And there goes preventative care. Hope we can all afford our own mammograms or colonoscopies.

      And where does this oaf think people will spend the money? To “money sucking insurance companies”. He’s mind-bogglingly stupid.

    23. So the same thing as all those DOGE refund checks then? Spam post about how everyone will get money IF they let Trump destroy yet another foundational support pillar for the average person and then get met with a big ol’ “fuck you” at the end of it.

    24. Awkward-Ring6182 on

      Just think what this will do to the economy and the pending implosion of millions of people dying. The death panels ain’t got nothin’ on this. Thanks for your attention to this matter

    25. Comfortable_Farm_252 on

      When he shows something like Obamacare and then says “look at what Obama(or anyone else) did” the very next question should be “yeah that’s shitty, what’s your plan to fix it?”

      Pointing out the problem is super easy. Coming up with an actual fix is hard. Lots of suggestions, lots of talk.

    26. “the worst Healthcare in the World”

      seems a little selfawarewolves, considering the vast majority of the rest of the world has universal healthcare

      ETA-forgot to capitalize random words that don’t need to be capitalized

    27. Currently the people are paying insurance premiums. This new plan sounds like you’d be paying it to Trump who will promise to distribute it to the people who just paid it to him.

    28. A totally unhinged madman is responsible for the livlihoods and wellbeing of 340+ million people.
