Trump's Plan for Lowering Healthcare Costs:

[MineralMan]

Reduce costs by decreasing the population that has health problems. Without treatment, people who can't afford healthcare will die, and will no longer be a burden on the system. It couldn't be simpler, and will also solve employment problems, since there will be fewer people looking for jobs. The same stragety applies to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SSDI and other programs. As the population goes down, the costs will go down. Soon, only healthy people will be left, reducing the need for healthcare programs.

Sound far-fetched? It's not, really, although he will never actually admit that such a thing is his real plan.

This attrition program will be called TrumpDon'tCare.

1. I have had more than one conservative tell me we simply have limited resources

for healthcare and unfortunately this means some will suffer more than others, or indeed die.

We dont actually have limited resources, per se, what we have are unbelievably greedy people who actually dont care about anybody but themselves and sometimes their family, but often not even them.

ACA will be repealed with no replacement so the GOP can punish and harm Obama voters and Obama.

11. But of course there's plenty of money

For tax cuts and walls.

2. One problem with that theory

Defunding Planned Parenthood, removing birth control from insurance coverage and restricting access to abortion will increase the birth rate.

[MineralMan]

3. Possibly. However, that might be offset by increased

infant mortality and childbirth complications by TrumpDon'tCare health policies.

[Phoenix61]

10. True

The US already has one of the highest infant mortality rates in industrialized countries. That would make it even worse.

4. With this incoming administration

anything is possible.

5. He has lots of poor white votes

Upset the rednecks at his own peril

[MineralMan]

7. Those people didn't vote based on their best interests.

They voted based on their worst prejudices. Many voted for a person who will take what little they have and throw them out with the trash.

[dembotoz]

12. But they did vote for him

When Goldman Sachs forecloses on their trailer perhaps with no Obama around hey will turn on trump

[Wellstone ruled]

6. This is called the

Allen Grayson Rule. Get sick,go die somewhere.

[MineralMan]

9. Pretty much, yes.

8. I am thinking anyone who proposes to defund Planned Parenthood, removing

Birth control cost should be forced to be sterilized and refrain from any and all sexual activity.

[crazycatlady]

16. That would require men giving up their subsidized boner pills

17. Good thought

[moondust]

13. Some cognitive dissonance.

GOP lawmakers move to strike down D.C.'s right-to-die law

[erinlough]

14. I've been thinking today that this is social engineering at a country level.

It isn't just the minority almost president, it is the entire Republican Party. They have a mindset that if you are sick it is your own fault and nothing should be done to stop "gods plan". I have to say I know I read this somewhere as a part of the dominionist movement. Old people, people with medical conditions, let god deal with them, it's hands off, the final solution.

[Johonny]

15. He has healthcare, he doesn't care if you do.

We can assume he hasn't thought that much about this issue beyond that.

His goal is to kill Obama's signature legislation so as to diminish in history Obama's impact.

Trump don't care... that is the truth.
