Or….

 Medicare for all?

“I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Of course, by that logic, we have to end Medicare Part C (“Advantage plans”), which also funnels money to “money sucking Insurance Companies.”

Yeah; that’ll happen.

There are around 260 million adults in the United States as of 2024 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and, with spending for Obamacare subsidies alone topping out at around $125 billion that same year, Trump’s proposal could see Americans each receive a check for at least $481. If Trump’s proposal included all of the government’s spending on health care, which in 2023 was about $1.6 trillion , Americans could each receive a check for about $6,150.

Insurance premiums are going up 144% for Obamacare, with the proviso that coverage cannot be denied for pre-existing conditions. Let’s scrap that and give everyone who was on it a onetime payment of $481. Or be generous, and give them $6,150.

Anybody priced the cost of private insurance lately? But it’s okay, the cost of a Thanksgiving meal at WalMart is down this year, so everything’s good!👍
