Trump says he will announce 'phenomenal' new healthcare plan within the next two months
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-healthcare-plan-to-be-rolled-out-2019-6

President Donald Trump said he would be announcing a 'phenomenal' new healthcare plan within the next two months, and says healthcare will be a primary focus leading up to his 2020 election campaign.

Trump has repeatedly called for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as "Obamacare," and has promised to pass a bill that would offer " insurance for everybody." In 2017, Republican lawmakers made serious efforts to replace Obamacare with an updated version called the American Health Care Act, or ACHA, however the bill was ultimately tabled.

...

Best case scenario: Tweak Obamacare a little and take credit for the whole thing.

More likely: New and improved opportunities for plunder.

1. Somehow, someway, I think leeches will figure into it. nt

[mainer]

2. Far more likely he'll forget all about it

Two months will go by and there'll be crickets. Because there is no plan, only "the concept" of a plan.

[gratuitous]

3. Again?

There are still some outlets that fall for this "within the next two months" nonsense? Sad!

[ooky]

4. It will be like the "10% middle class tax cut Republicans were working on" that

he announced just prior to the 2018 midterm elections. 100% bullshit.

[rurallib]

5. He often promises to do something at some future time and it is never heard

about again.

But in this case he may do something since it is part of his campaign to fool people with health care bullshot.

6. He is probably talking about this. He is just going to steal Romey's plan.

7. Yep. The USACA! Cuz Trump likes the sound of it

The same ACA, now with lower cost junk plan options, most of which will exclude maternity and reproductive healthcare, preventative screenings, and preexisting conditions.

[Goodheart]

8. If it's truly a decent plan his own donors, party members, and voters will rebel

All of which means it's going to be crap plan.

[NewJeffCT]

9. and, he will also release his tax returns and provide us an update

on Melania's immigration status.

[MissB]

10. I feel like we need a "Health care week"

To go along with infrastructure week.

[duforsure]

11. He promoting propaganda for pr

And again he'll be exposed as a fraud after claiming it would cost less, cover more, and everyone would be covered. He's lying again. It'll probably be a trash can plan he'll claim things he knows are lies,discriminate, and have him and his family profiting from it. This is just another distraction and smokescreen away from his admitting he'd take putins help , again. More self promotion, and lies.

12. Cool story Brump

13. The plan is being devised by a man accused of stealing 70 BILLION from Medicare.

There's no way it will be an ACA light, that's not what Scott does, he blows things up for the profits of the rich, especially himself and his wife is still all in with healthcare in FL, owning the largest Urgent Care chain in the state. Guaranteed, there will be -

-lifetime caps which are ridiculously low
-no pre-existing coverage
-no coverage for children up to age 26 - probably revert to 18, don't think they could go lower or they would
-no contraception coverage - not even a discount for birth control pills
-no coverage for maternity
-no out of pocket maxes
-extremely high cost for real coverage, but most will offer junk plans with no real protection at somewhat reduced cost
-really really high ER costs to drive people to Urgent Care - this is the major self-profiting part. Bet he's given drumpf a percentage of profits promise or has already paid him upfront to promote this, not sure which.

All of this is assuming there really is a plan, since it's most likely there's no plan at all. If it weren't for Scott's involvement - and he does know a lot about this - I'd be certain that this was a total barrage of lies. As it is, I'm not sure. I do know if it's real - the above will be very pertinent.

14. Promise: Free healthcare for all!!

Fool the morans who may be teetering because this really is the biggest common issue. Then when he's re-installed, it'll be back to business as usual.

[Wounded Bear]

15. I remember an old TV sitcom called F Troop...

at the saloon in town there was a sign on the bar saying: Free Lunch 5 cents

[BSdetect]

16. But did he mean "phenomenal" in a good way?

[peggysue2]

17. I've read that GOP leadership has already told . . .

the Trumpster to 'let it go.' Republicans are not in a mood to remind everyone they have no plans beyond repealing healthcare for Americans.

Trump is once again shouting out his ass.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Trump/GOP is still not giving up on their plans to sabotage/wreck it more

however

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I seriously can't think of anything else to say.

[onethatcares]

20. john Boehner already did that

with a three ring binder full of blank pages.

the drumpster could bring that act back .

[Blue_Tires]

21. Most likely to happen: Nothing

Trump once again kicks the can down the road a few more months, and summer 2020 he'll announce another miracle have-your-cake-and-eat-it healthcare plan
