Trump's Big, Beautiful Genocide "Health Care Plan" is "going to kill a whole lot of people"

Trump on Saturday uncorked an epic all-caps rant in which he doubled down on an insurance plan some experts say will "kill a whole lot of people" if enacted.

Trump over the weekend was met with ridicule after he unleashed a major plan that he said will provide a multibillion dollar payout directly to Americans as an alternative to funding government health care subsidies that have divided lawmakers amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for New York Health, weighed in on the plan, saying, "The average cost of giving birth without insurance is $18,865. The average cancer patient will spend at least $150k. Trump’s approach would bankrupt and kill even more Americans when they can’t afford care. Our taxes should be funding universal healthcare with Medicare for All."

She added that the plan "is going to kill a whole lot of people."

negotiated price with private insurance for an allogeneic transplant was 250K and that was in 2010.

Majority of bankruptcies are due to medical costs.

He has no clue.
