Trump: Call it Trumpcare

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

His little HSA/Coupon plan that Rick Scott is coming up with might be good to add to the ACA as it stands, but I'm really afraid of what they're going to cut.
I remember my parents getting Co-op health care in the 1960's/70's when costs were relatively cheap - and myself trying to get healthcare as a small business contract worker in the1990's as medical prices skyrocketed.

I don't want what we had in the 90's to return. One didn't go to the doctor unless one absolutely had to, and hopefully it would be a Worker's Comp issue that sent you to an ER or clinic.
People will die, just as they did before the ACA.

Great. People can go buy their own insurance only to find out that it will be unaffordable for people with preexisting conditions, require onerous preapprovals for everything and deny care at every turn. Junk policies are no bargain.

CHEAP policies that offer the ILLUSION of healthcare will be the norm.
