    They get health care, we don’t. That’s the plan. It’s always been the plan.

    The plan is to let people die in the streets if they can’t afford them grotesquely inflated prices of the healthcare system.

      Ironically that’s the opposite of what the healthcare industry wants. It costs a lot of money to die with health insurance. Lots for both you and the insurance company.

      They push preventative healthcare options all over the place and provide hundreds of dollars of incentives each year to people to do the bare minimum because it’s cheaper to prevent issues from the beginning than to treat big ones when it’s ignored.

      They want to pay as little as possible, but also get as much as possible out of individuals and company benefits, there’s a balance they have to maintain. Single payer would actually make them more money probably, if it weren’t subject to the same government spending cuts Republicans always want to do as well.

      Also, dead people often can’t pay their bills. The average estate often isn’t large enough for medical bills to recoup everything.

      The Republicans making these decisions however, aren’t just doing what the insurance companies want though, they’re grifting from everyone so it all results into a balanced evil end where no industry gets what they really want, but the consumer always gets fucked.

    Their plan is to take it away so that you become forever indebted to shareholders the moment you get sick. They want to milk you for every red cent they can squeeze out of your miserable existence.

    They haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.

      The Republican healthcare plan was Obamacare. That’s what it was once it was clear something had going to change. The Dems let the Republicans basically gut and change whatever they wanted. The insurance industry wrote the damned thing.

      That’s why there’s no other plan, and they never repeal it, we already have their plan.

        The thing is, they’re not making any promises anymore. They don’t have to. They don’t answer to anyone right now: not voters, not courts, not Congress. It’s blame Dems for the shutdown, while Trump builds a ballroom at the White House and gets gifted a crown by foreign leaders.

    Been saying this for over a decade, all through Obama’s 8 years after he passed a republican health plan they had no republican plan to replace it.

    Repeal and replace is a lie you have heard for almost a decade, why believe it now?

    Yep they do. The lower the income, the more billionaire deductible you will pay while not receiving care.
