I love how these rich fucks think “let the people shop for their own healthcare plans” would help anything. As if I could afford private insurance not subsidized by my employer?
I do think that reducing the number of doctors visits required would be great. I don’t think anyone would hit it where it’s really impactful (allowing schedule 2 meds with long term consistency to drop to annual visits instead of quarterly). But yeah this is an ai list not an expert plan
And the bit about sending government subsidies to taxpayers for them to buy insurance instead of directly funding insurance companies…
I guess it’s not socialism if you get the money first?
These fucking morons have no functioning brain cells… If daddy Trump says it then it’s good. If a Democrat says the same fucking thing then it’s evil communism socialism death panel insurance scam…
Cost sharing is a religious loophole for Christians who think insurance is gambling. It’s basically religious gofundme agreements that ensure you can’t pay for medicine that Christians disapprove of.
This looks like it was written by a group of 5th graders, who got bored half way through the assignment and hurriedly finished it so they could go outside with the rest of the class, after they had spent the first 30mins eating pencil erasers.
None of these are material financial levers that would drive down healthcare costs. Overhead and claims payments are visible in health insurance companies’ public financials. Displaying denial rates doesn’t change denial rates. More otc seems like it has potential for abuse by patients i.e., creating unsafe environments where people have carte blanche access to drugs (could see it maybe modestly lowering prices for a subset of medication) - prices on the wall? When your appendix bursts, good luck going shopping for the best price. What are you gonna do, die in the lobby while “shopping”?
This “plan” is a bad joke. While for profit health insurance has it’s inefficiencies and misaligned incentives, the answer is NOT this - it’s clearly single payer.
Don’t forget that prescription meds get applied to our deductibles, but OTC meds don’t. In other words, it’s more money from consumers’ pockets and a lower chance of insurance having to pay out.
True, hadn’t considered that. The more you read into it (there’s not much to go off of - it’s still an outline…) the more glaring gaps and inadequacy is revealed. It’s pathetic.
Of course he wants to make more drugs “over the counter” so doctor Google can prescribe expensive medicines you likely don’t need and ditch the real doctor.
Buying over-the-counter meds doesn’t count toward your deductible. I swear this is just another way to get consumers to pay more while letting insurance companies off the hook.
10 years of taking about a healthcare plan, and it is a single page with not much to go on.

Yeah I was gonna say. This sounds more like a proposal you would make on the campaign trail than an actual plan
Fund cost sharing…? Isn’t that socialism?

And a bunch of em-dashes!
Is it Trump’s mission in life to make the word “great” completely meaningless?
He means “great” as “large or immense”. He’s using it in the pejorative sense.

Look at all that negative space, it’s barely more than half a page
