Trump health plan would increase deficit and leave millions uninsured, report says

Is anyone surprised?

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s recently released plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act would drive up the federal deficit by nearly $500 billion over the next decade and cause 21 million Americans to lose health coverage, according to a new independent analysis.

Trump’s “Healthcare Reform to Make America Great Again” plan, which the GOP presidential front-runner outlined on his campaign website last month, does not include much detail.

But its major planks – including repealing Obamacare, deregulating health insurance and offering tax breaks to help Americans get coverage – would likely have a devastating effect, the new analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget concludes.

“Mr. Trump’s plan to repeal and replace Obamacare – based on the details available – would both add to the deficit and significantly reduce coverage,” the report notes.

the thing i can't figure out about this is why he'd even bother publishing any policy at all. his fans don't give a shit about policy, as long as it involves some kind of hating on minorities they're good. by trying to get serious about any of this, he just puts himself in a position to be criticized on details by people like Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich who, for all their other various flaws, i would expect to comprehend such policy statements. or at least have people on staff capable of doing so for them.
