Quote:The repeal and replacement of Obamacare was one of the main issues in Trump’s campaign. He said he liked two things about the A.C.A. – the coverage of children to 26 under their parent’s plans, and the elimination of exclusion due to preexisting conditions. Even back when campaigning, he said he had a plan, and it was wonderful. Now we are hearing that it could take until 2018, and the Republicans, who have had nine years to come up with something better than Obamacare (not a terribly difficult feat) can’t reach consensus. This concerns me, as I think that getting a decent health care system is the single biggest issue that America needs to resolve over the next couple of years. With that in mind, I would like to start a discussion about health care. Before outlining my own views, I thought I would ask others for their input. What are the baseline attributes for what you see as a workable healthcare system? What system does it primarily follow (Beveridge, Bismarck, NHI, OOP, etc.)? What is/is not covered? I will give it a day or two before adding my thoughts. Finally, where do you all see health care as standing among the issues facing America and why?  

 

Thank you for posting. This is the kind of thread we need about the ACA and whatever should or should not come next.

 

I do not agree with most people on this forum because I have been through unique health insurance situations over the years and am 100% liberal. Be prepared for arguments between me and conservatives.
