So -- Yet Again -- Tangerine 2.0 Offers A Non-Starter Short Outline, Calling It His "Great Health Plan". Small Personal Savings Accounts Is All It Contemplates. YAWN.

Welp -- "You can fool some of the people. . . all of the time."

But not today [for the sixth time, too!]. This same impotent clap-trap from Tangerine 1.0 died in Committee back in 2017. In a GOP Congress. There is simply no. . . "plan" -- in his plans. Ever. Here's the latest, from people not drinking Orange Kool-Aid -- at NPR:

. . .In a video posted to social media Thursday, President Trump announced an outline for new health care legislation. The plan does not include a remedy for people who buy their health insurance on HealthCare.gov, some of whom are facing sky-high premium hikes this month.

Trump dubbed the ideas the "Great Healthcare Plan." The White House issued a fact sheet and held a press call hosted by the chief of Medicare and Medicaid, Dr. Mehmet Oz[?!]. . . .

Both Oz and Trump talked about the plan as if it is a replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but the proposals are much narrower in scope than that law, which passed with no Republican votes in 2010.

A bipartisan group of senators is trying to hash out a bill to extend ACA enhanced subsidies, and Trump's plan appears not to preclude that short-term deal moving forward, but it is not a vote of confidence either. . . .

"This looks much more like a compilation of Republican ideas, including some that are already in the Affordable Care Act. It doesn't appear to address the rising premium payments that we're seeing. . . ."


What a pack of incompetent, feckless liars all these jamokes are. The return of the Obamacare subsidies is what is needed. Congress will buckle -- to the so-called "affordability" pressure -- from struggling families. Bank on that. Out.
