Discussion: Mulvaney: GOP's Health Care Plan Coming 'Fairly Shortly'

1 Like

I think what Mulvaney meant to say was that the G.O.P. health care plan will be coming up short.

Such news this morning. But when did Mulvaney and Stephen Miller become co-presidents*?

He’s been mis-quoted. What he said was that the GOP “plan” will come up short in being fair.

GOP Health Plan:

  1. Stay Healthy.
  2. If you do get sick, die quickly or go bankrupt (preferably both as our vulture capitalists love that.)
  3. USA! USA! USA!

Very soon, perhaps in two weeks.

Within another decade or two?

I was at a funeral for a staunch conserative aunt and talking to a couple folks that were at the family visitation friday and a woman mentioned not having health insurance so not being able to afford going to a Dr. to check something out and the woman she was speaking to acted like it was no big deal! Didn’t know either very well so don’t know for sure either’s political leanings but I have a guess.

And this is a funny point from Thursday last week on kind of another health issue.

If you’re a party that wishes we could go back to the 1950s (but without the 91 percent top tax rate),

We have better ideas than Democrats. We don’t know what they are, yet. But they’re coming. And they’ll be better…the best ideas.

I suspect what we’re going to see is a whole slew of cheaper plans. Never mind the fact that they cover only a broken right humerus, and only if you’re between 27 and 42, and only if it happened on an odd-numbered day in a month with an “r” in its name.

The plan is coming after the next middle class tax cut. Trump was saying this last October? What happened to this???

That’s Team Trump for you. Experts have spent entire careers trying to figure out a health plan that does everything the ACA does in a more “Republican” way but have failed because the ACA is the most Republican of all healthcare plans. The way you improve on the current plan involves expansion of a Medicare option to people with pre-existing conditions and an expansion of medicaid to a larger part of the working poor who can’t afford giant premiums or giant deductibles or something that starts like that.

It’s just too great, beautiful, and fantastic to stay suppressed.

And the claim will be initially denied because the 25-50 K deductible has not been met.

We’ll combine the two and pave over the sick, aged and lame.
