Pubbies to Push New Healthcare Plan

Yes, the last Pubbie healthcare plan was nuked by John McCain and the Democrats.

McCain has left the building (thank God!) and the Democrats..........well........they're attempting to defend ObozoCare.  Good luck with that.

So there's a new Pubbie Plan which will emerge soon.

According to Scalise, key elements of the plan will include:

• Protecting patients with pre-existing conditions.
• Allowing Americans to shop across state lines for cheaper insurance.
• Ending the practice of drug companies paying generic manufacturers to make cheaper versions of popular but expensive medicines
• Ending hidden/surprise hospital, testing and doctor charges that arrive later in the mail.
• Getting rid of middlemen in the medical supply chain who drive up the costs of drugs, procedures and equipment or interfere in treatment decisions.
• Scalise said Republicans are also ready to battle over the issue of pre-existing conditions, which Democrats used effectively in their 2018 election efforts by touting
• Obamacare’s protections.

Republicans plan to show – and hammer home -- that Obamacare’s tradeoff for protecting pre-existing conditions was higher insurance premiums and deductibles that rendered many treatments unaffordable.
“You know, with Obamacare, they say they protect people with pre-existing conditions. But part of what they do is you're seeing deductibles skyrocket. So you might have a $5,000 to $10,000 deductible in your plan. That's not really health care if you can't afford it,” Scalise said. “Sure, they say you're protected, but if you can't afford it, it's like giving you the keys to a car that's got no engine.”

 "No engine" indeed.  I've made it clear to some Democrat friends that what Pelosi, Schumer, and Obama did to some of my children is unforgivable.
