Trumpcare |

Medicare for All |
He is still trying to take awayHealth Careinsurance from millions! |
All told, the study concludesa single-payer system akin to Sanders’s plan would slash the nation’s health-care expenditures by 13 percent, or more than $450 billion, each year. Not only that, “ensuring health-care access for all Americans would save more than 68,000 lives.” |

update: July 12, 2019
It is obvious that I believe
Donald Trump should not remain President...
Here are my reasons:
1. ...of course! Need I say more?
2. President Obama worked very hard to
increase the number persons insured and Trump is
doing everything he can to take away
insurance from millions... why? WHY?
There is no doubt that we spend
too much on medical care - 18.5% of GDP.
(Unchecked, the health care dollar will jump
to 25% in the next few years. We must
reduce the cost to around 10% of GDP
or we won't have roads, education etc.)
I believe that making "business"
the defacto delivery of health care is
stupid.
The rise of employer-sponsored coverage
Health care is a human right, not a privilege.
We have developed the worst system: forcing
business to compete adding healthcare as
another "fringe benefit" creates
significant havoc to delivery of medical
care (and also creating most bankruptcies);
and
doing great injustice by treating medical
care as if it were "just like any other
business."
What are Employers' Healthcare Insurance Requirements Under the Affordable Care Act?
Learn what the Affordable Care Act (ACA) means for large and small employers in 2019.
80% of the insurance for health care is provided via the employer;
insurance administrative fees runs anywhere between 10-18% whareas
Medicare administrative fees runs 3% of the health care dollar;
insurance health care premiums are expensive;
any person presenting to an emergency room, whether they have
medical insurance or not, will get medical care;
most persons having employer-provided insurance think they
have good quality insurance and wish to keep it. (Don't forget
Trump is gutting Obamacare, and getting rid of "previous medical
conditions".)
So, let's talk about "MEDICARE for ALL:"
most persons who have Medicare like it and wish to continue it;
MEDICARE for ALL means universal coverage, a single payer, and taxes
paying for everything! (Reminder, you will not be paying
insurance premiums, exorbitant executive salaries and large
administrative fees.)
and, of course, there will be reason to continue having health
insurance until there is universal coverage!
I believe healthcare is a right; I believe having insurance is wasteful
and counter-productive to good quality medical care; I believe the delivery
of medical care should not be capitalistic profit business.

| THE TIME HAS COME TO RENAME HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA AS TRUMPCARE ============================== UPDATE 3/5/2019 THE GAG RULE The Federal Government via Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence is attempting to re-insert the GAG rule. Doctors and other health care providers will be gagged and not allowed to provide proper patient information. I have never followed this GAG rule in the past and will not in the future. Every patient deserves all the information so they can decide on how modern medicine is utilized in their care. ======================= What will be the most significant change to our health care? "In the news recently, you have probably been hearing a lot of pre existing conditions in reference to health insurance. Currently, the GOP is trying to repeal and replace the Obama-era healthcare act known as the Affordable Care Act. They plan to replace it with the American Health Care Act, popularly referred to as Trumpcare. Because of this, many Americans are concerned about what will happen to their health insurance if they have a pre existing condition like diabetes, obesity, or pregnancy. At the moment, the ACA offers protections to those with pre existing conditions. However, this was not always the case." (quoted from the WEB) ===========================  WHAT SHALL WE DO??? VOTE TO GET MEDICARE FOR ALL. UPDATED: Feb. 24, 2020 |
