    Uhm yes Trump did

    Trump personally cared about me by his first EO going rid of the Obama care mandate

    I don't have to buy Obama care or pay a tax.

    Your choice, but what are you doing about insuring your health? If you have severe chest pains, the diagnostics and other charges in a hospital will run $20-30,000. Can you write a check for that? If not, the hospital will seek judgment on everything you own and win.

    Trumps removal of the individual mandate is all the healthcare reform I wanted.

    What about his endorsement of a legal ruling that eliminated protections for pre-existing conditions?

    That you would even mention this is an admission Obamacare sucks. And you keep confusing the issue, health insurance is not healthcare. If you remotely believe I’m wrong, then consider the differences between how Politicians get treatment and how you get it.

    Obamacare does not suck. Trump still has not provided a proposal as substitute for Obamacare. Health insurance is directly related and inseparable from (in our healthcare system) from healthcare.

    Obamacare raised premiums, deductibles and out of pocket costs for tens of millions of people. Healthcare providers hate it. Many People are limited to having just one choice on insurance providers on the exchanges. Obamacare eliminated tens of thousands of state, county, city and school district jobs in order to reduce the costs of Obamacare and millions of full time jobs became part time jobs in order to avoid Obamacare. did you By some miracle miss those stories? If it was so great, then why were waivers given...in Pelosi’s district? Obamacare is kinda what Hitler wanted, but with libs, those kinds of policies are to be savored and nourished.

    How can he with the Democrats refusing to work with him at all. It’s incredible what he’s accomplished with, at first, his own party against him, and now with the Democrats turning their back on the American people just to impeach a sitting president.
    Goid news is Democrats have unified the Republican Party.
    A vote for a Democrat is a vote AGAINST your freedom!!

    Endorsement of a legal ruling?

    What does that mean? What kind of legal ruling requires an 'endorsement'?

    Trump Administration Announces Historic Price Transparency Requirements to Increase Competition and Lower Healthcare Costs for All Americans

    https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019...lower-healthcare-costs-for-all-americans.html



    Medicine is probably the only area of our economy where corporations, private equity investors, venture capitalists and Wall Street tycoons don’t deliver value. Corporate medicine is big business, but it’s not Sam Walton trying to bring low-cost, high quality health care to a town near you. Private equity funds are targeting areas of medicine where they can gouge patients, extort insurers and loot employee health plans.

    Free-market capitalism has repeatedly proven to provide consumers the most goods at the lowest prices.     The benefit of capitalism is self-evident. Walmart, Dollar General and Amazon are great examples. Walmart brought low-cost goods to small towns all across America, areas other major retailers avoided.

    The Republican party cant even unify on a drug pricing bill.

    And why would you need to work with Democrats to simply make a proposal?

    A texas judge ruled that trump's elimination of the tax penalty meant that the entire ACA, including its protections for pre-existing conditions, was invalid. The DOJ had previously argued that only very limited portions of the law was invalid. After that ruling, the DOJ altered its reasoning - at trump's request - and endorsed the theory that the entire law should be struck down.

    single payer healthcare systems are superior to ours. They provide better care than we do at a fraction of the cost of what we pay.

    If you have ever gotten a paycheck you would notice you are taxed for just that...

    This should not have to be explained to you.
