Trump for president

[Blindgreed1]

Well, Trump has Giuliani, Ben Carson, sometimes Newt Gingrich, sometimes Mike Pence, his kids, and he used to have Chris Christie. But, by all accounts, Trump often ignores the advice of his advisers and campaign management and contradicts what they've just said on his behalf. So, I mostly see lesser-known professional surrogates who are willing to just read and argue the scripted talking points.

Trump has a good opportunity to exploit the recent news that Obamacare premiums will increase by 22% next year (though some of the cost increase will be subsidized and some states will see substantial decreases in premiums).

Premiums were rising significantly before Obamacare and millions of more people have health insurance than ever before, but the high number of truly sick people who now have health insurance is driving up provider costs. And, the premiums and provider quality is very inconsistent from state to state. There are some serious issues.

I don't know if Trump has enough time to really capitalize on it though, even if he could stay on focus. But, I think he would be wise to go hard on how he would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act without depriving truly sick people of coverage, and describe how Clinton's Obamacare reformation + public option addition is less desirable than his his proposal to put health care entirely back in the private sector. He doesn't seem to have a solid health care plan or the ability to hammer a point consistently without going off track though, in my opinion.

22% is a very generous suggestion. It will vary state to state and from what I'm hearing a 25% increase in premiums is the average MINIMUM. Also, consumers will be left with one provider to choose from, so if you're looking for a bargain you're shit out of luck.

ObamaCare in my state is on the way to crippling us.

For whatever reason, we're among the 4 most expensive states to purchase insurance through our program MNSure.

This act needs to be repealed.

I'm pretty sure you're not on Obamacare, and for that I'm glad because you have a family to look out for, but I'd be interested in knowing about the quality of healthcare those who are on Obamacare receive. The healthcare industry on the whole has trimmed all the fat they can to prepare for the losses they are taking for this whole "Free healthcare for all "
