Eliminates mandate, subsidies but keeps pre existing condition provision and will allow kids to stay on parents policy until age 26.

keeping kids on their parents till they are 26 was basically where obamacare gain any enrollement.  What was before obamacare... they dropped off when ever the insurance company rules were???  You pick up a large percentage of the population by leaving the kids on the plan till 26.  Good on Trump for keeping the only 2 successful things of Obama care.  The rest of the the 1000's of pages in Obamacare can be shredded.

I have 3 step kids that have insurance that wouldn't have at this point I think due to them being on till 26.

The mandate as unpopular as it is,  keep cost's down,  younger healthier people paying in helps balance out the older less healthy people, if it goes cost's go up like it or not it's a fact.

Obamacare/romney care was based on the conservative heritage groups plan. Increase the size of the risk pool. Bring in lots of healthy young people to bring down the overall costs.

getting rid of mandates is a dumb idea. what happens when the people that now won't pay shit need healthcare? the mandate should have stayed and the penalties stiffened. 

Back where we started...

Yup that was their goal.

 

Just make a National Plan available and take the sick profit out of it.

The Republican Health Care Plan Includes A Tax Break For Insurance CEOs (Trumpcare)

The Republican Health Care Plan Includes A Tax Break For Insurance CEOs
Insurance industry execs are getting a new tax break on salaries above $500,000 as part of the Republican plan to replace Obamacare. Paul McLeod BuzzFeed News Reporter

WASHINGTON — The Republican plan to replace Obamacare includes a tax break for insurance company executives making over $500,000 per year.

Companies can generally deduct employee salaries as a business expense but in 2013 the Affordable Care Act capped the deductions on health insurance executive salaries at $500,000.

The average compensation for top health insurance executives is in the millions. In 2014 the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies found that this cap generated $72 million in additional tax revenue.

But that cap is being eliminated in the new American Healthcare Act unveiled Monday by Republicans. That means the more health insurance companies pay their executives the less they will pay in taxes.

Well I'm sure a tax break for Insurance Execs will help bring down rates. :nuts:

Like Ben said how about we address healthcare costs.

Also still not allowed to sell health insurance across state lines.

Dont hold your breath Smails. All of these keyboard experts think they know shit. They dont. When prices get so out of hand they will beg for UHC. Im going to give Trump a chance but from what i am seeing i am not too optimistic.

Actually that's not true, and as the fines grew so did the numbers of people signing up.

 Trump promised everyone would be covered and the cost would be lower and the care better and we will be proud of the system, lets wait and see if it's true.

it is true.

the 'numbers' may be up some...that would be expected.

but, it's no way what the commies had planned.

millennials don't give a shit about health insurance.

they want their lattes, ipads, xboxes and cellphones.

it's how he reaches his people. 140 characters and a few emojis thrown in is about all they can absorb without their heads exploding.

No doubt they would rather buy phones ect., but I have 2 friends that work a health care outreach center and they say as the fines went up so did the number of people signing up, and as people started to understand buying through the market place could save money more people did.
