AHCA

March 8^th 2017

Tom Price finally released the republican plan to replace Obamacare. After 6 years of repeal votes, denigration, claims of death spirals and boasts of a cheaper, better plan than Obamacare we see the results of their work. It's a stinker!

They obviously have put little or no thought into this mess that they call the American Heath Care Act. Early reviews by insurance companies indicate it will cost a lot more, especially for the millions of poorer and older people who benefited from the Obamacare subsidies and those needing Medicaid. It also means millions of people will lose the insurance they gained under the ACA.  

The republicans have basically taken the Obamacare model and  gutted the elements that were intended to help those in need whilst eliminating the taxes from the rich, and the individual mandate that helped pay for the less fortunate. Is this the great plan that Trump touted? It's just another indicator of how the country has been conned by this man and the conservatives who have no idea of what it takes to govern or to build a better America.

We would be much better expanding the Medicare model to all citizens in need of health insurance with a proper payroll and income tax system on those that can afford it to ensure that that the system remains solvent.
