Trump Releases Health Care Plan, Promises To Reinstate Pre-Existing Conditions
Hold the presses! Donald Trump actually released a policy paper -- sort of -- on how he plans to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
Remember all that crap in the last debate/town hall about pre-existing conditions out of Trump's mouth? I was literally ranting on Twitter, because the way he said it sounded like he would reinstate pre-existing conditions, but all of the "knowledgeable" people around me said, "Oh, no, he wouldn't do that."
Well, guess the hell what? That's exactly what he wants to do.
Here's point 1:
Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.
A complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act means repealing pre-existing conditions exclusions. And so we're clear here, his emphasis on the individual mandate going away proves that point.
But other than that, there's not a single mention of them anywhere.
Points 2-7 are the GOP wish list for health care:
Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines.
