He wants to transfer the money the government gives to the insurance companies to the insured so they can pick their own insurance.
I don't have a link. I saw what was a truth social post on facebook.
So, this was his health plan? Much like the voucher systems for schools. Now that I think about it, that voucher system is probably the Republican plan for education too. Less direct responsibility, and more passing money to their cronies.

(44,115 posts)When you dont know how to lead or inspire or govern. Dont rely on the house and senate to do their job. That would require leadership. Just holler at people. Trumps only purpose in life now is to cover up THE EPSTEIN FILES CHOCK FULL OF PEDOPHILIA. Who has time for healthcare and feeding the poor? Hes just the president of the United States. Give the boy a break. Between naps.

Without some mechanism to control how much companies charge for the insurance, it tends to be fairly worthless. People are still priced out.

Where is the money coming from to give to people/families regarding health insurance? That means the Federal government would have to charge the people additional taxes, and it would still come up short. ACA is working, extend the subsides.

Its the same stupid idea they trot out for getting rid of social security.
