Opinion: Just how big is Trump’s health-care mistake?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer speak outside the Supreme Court on Tuesday about President Trump's health-care plans.

Asked how much trust they placed in Trump or congressional Republicans to protect or improve the health care system, nearly 3 in 5 voters said “not much” or “none at all,” according to the latest March 29-April 1 survey. By contrast, a 53 percent majority of the electorate said they had “a lot” or “some” trust in Democrats on the same question. . . .

If politicians want to win the health-care debate, they’d do well to listen to what voters’ precise problems are. Drew Altman of the Kaiser Family Foundation writes that “it’s the candidates who can connect their plans and messages to voters’ worries about out of pocket costs who will reach beyond the activists in their base. And the candidates aren’t speaking to that much, at least so far.

Thanks in part to the Affordable Care Act, only 10 percent of the population remains uncovered. But that means many Americans are less focused on getting to universal coverage, even though candidate after candidate talks about it. They have insurance and are focused on their own, often crippling health care costs.

Good grief. Have you not yet figured out that if he says he going to do this he will. He has likely hired quite a few rockstars to figure out and fix our healthcare nightmare already. It IS what he does.

Opinion | A Losing Health-Care StrategyOpinion: The latest ObamaCare lawsuit is bad law and high-risk politics Resurrect the AHCA, it was a moderate plan. realDonaldTrump The ACA was a workaround compromise because no politician wants to deal with the centrist question of why our healthcare is so expensive. Start talking about that, then we can talk about bad law. At least someone tried to fix something, not wring their hands... Wow, you got one right. How’d that happen?

Opinion | If the GOP built their ideal health-care system . . . it’d be ObamacareThe Trump administration wants a federal court to declare the entire law unconstitutional — even the parts that people like. Bingo. really it wouldn't. Obama care was horrible I sure hope not. Forcing people to purchase something to pay for other people to get horrible medical service is about as bad as it gets.

For Trump’s ‘Party of Healthcare,’ there is no health-care planMost Republicans hope the president will drop the idea of trying to come up with a replacement for Obamacare, which the GOP has failed to accomplish for nearly a decade. Cannot repeal Obamacare without a replacement. Trump and GOP are lying. That’s been clear from the beginning. What?!

Trump says no Republican health-care plan until after 2020 electionsPresident Donald Trump indicated Monday night that a new Republican health-care plan that he has boasted about in recent days won’t be voted on until after the 2020 elections. Of course it won’t be. Because there is no plan. And the plan after 2020 is no healthcare plan and more tax cuts for rich. Because there isn't one. Never has been, and won't be. It is a Unicorn healthcare plan. It is mythical, it does not exist, it will NEVER be what Trump will claim it will bebe, from now until the 2020 election. Don't believe a word from him.

Analysis | Fractious Democrats band together to defend health-care law from Trump’s attackProtecting the Affordable Care Act helped Democrats win the House majority last year, with several freshmen who owe their seats in part to Republicans’ ill-fated effort to gut the law. Fractious? “Everybody agrees that the ACA is better than nothing,” Hill said. “You better believe not a single one of us is going to let that get overturned.” You’ve seen ours, now show us yours...what, oh, you don’t have one? I can believe that! Trump is usually pretty astute, knowing just when to declare a 'caravan', just before the election, & a MiddleClass TaxCut at the same time, that VANISHED, as fast as he forgot about the caravan. But THIS is stupid. The Dems won BIG, on Healthcare, & will AGAIN come 2020!

Mulvaney pushes the health-care fight Trump wants despite GOP’s misgivingsActing chief of staff helped persuade the president to support striking down the ACA, over the objections of some on Capitol Hill.

Trump punts vote on health-care bill until after next year’s electionsCongressional Republicans showed little appetite for a fight during campaign season on a politically perilous issue. Because that way he can fill the heads of his loyal sheep with empty promises, and they'll be dumb enough to believe him, and then he can screw them over while they applaud and cheer. Because he don't how to fix it. Trump punts morals as well.
