Trump To Sign Executive Orders Protecting Preexisting Conditions

Typical liberal socialist thinking.

The way you encourage young and healthy people to buy insurance premiums and thus help to improve the actuary tables is to not guarantee healthcare services to people who could otherwise pay for a premium but chose not to. The incentive is you only get what you pay for. That way when they show up at a hospital or doctor's office.... Sorry, you aren't covered, you chose to opt out. So either show us cash, or good bye! Same way we do with car insurance, home owners insurance etc. Don't want to cover your car and you are in an accident, nobody comes in and fixes your car. There is no "fundamental right" to car insurance---or to a car. Well, at least not yet, but I'm sure you socialists will add that too.

I see, and if you are poor, or have a history of cancer and the premiums are $10k/month, you're just SOL, sucks to be you. And if that young person gets in an accident and breaks 4 bones, concussion, etc. what happens when the ambulance takes them to the ER? They get turned away or what?

So the problem starts with you all claiming healthcare is a human right. Where in the constitution does it say that? I agree that as a society we may be well served to help cover people who cannot work, the old, the handicapped. But for everyone else, they need to pay, and pay MORE for what is otherwise being doled out by taxpayers and/or other people who are doing the right thing.

I see, so maybe fine people who choose to not get insurance, but who are covered by the ER guarantee of service? Something like that?

Do that, and then you begin to fix healthcare. Make people responsible and accountable. If more people looked at healthcare like something as important as owning a new SUV, or a $1000 smart phone, and not soemthing someone else is supposed to pay for, then we get back to making this system work.

Problem with you socialists is you believe in giving too many people a free ride. Offer that enough and then suddenly people stop feeling like they are responsible for their own lives--"someone else" will bail them out, and then our ER waiting rooms become filled with moochers and our national borders swarmed by newcomers. Why not, "everything is free". And the obvious answer is that NOTHING IS FREE---somebody has to pay for it. You offer this "free stuff" to get votes/power. At least be honest about why you do it.

You've got some theories, and all that's missing is someone putting them into a plan, so we can see how they actually work in something like 20% of our economy. Maybe after a decade post-ACA the GOP could start working on this plan.....
 
So you want to repeal Reagan's mandate that hospitals must treat all patients regardless of ability to pay? You think the answer is to leave accident victims at the side of the road? Thank goodness that is the ravings of a lunatic instead of a possibility. The definition of a broken healthcare system is what you seem to want. A for profit HC system is never going to work for the American people. Profiting off someone's misfortune is not capitalism it is sadism.
This is court jester's plan, and it aint funny.

 
LOL. Clearly you need things spelled out for you. I don't care if young people don't buy healthcare insurance, that should be their choice. I encourage them to buy it; it is important that they have it, and having them in the insurance pool helps to stabilize rates for everyone else---especially older and sick people. All I am saying is that if the don't buy it, and then get sick or show up at hospital---then they should be denied services---- they chose to opt out. Opt out means OUT. And by doing so that becomes the incentive for young people to buy insurance and enter the risk pool. When they hear of their friends being sent home with a broken leg to figure it out for themselves, then just like car insurance, or "drop and spill coverage" for their laptops---- many will sign up for a healthcare insurance --- even one with high deductibles in the event of a catastrophic health event, so that they are covered and not denied service when they need it.

Our healthcare system is broken mainly for one reason: making healthcare a "right". It is NOT a right. Healthcare insurance is a PRODUCT and we are the consumers. Inserting the nanny state in between consumers and insurance companies is not the way to encourage individuals to be smart consumers---or to keep companies accountable.

Civilized countries regard health care as a human right.
 
The “across state lines” proposals are designed to deregulate insurance markets so that even states can’t protect people with pre-existing conditions. If you want to pretend the GOP supports protecting those people, bringing up the GOP’s most famous proposal to make protecting them impossible is a bad way to do it.

Horsefeathers! CONGRESS, not state houses could have short the Obama ACA guaranteed to protect pre-existing conditions in addition to demanding that insurers be allowed to sell policies, and insured allowed to buy policies across state lines. Donald Trump his for that, and he is likewise attempting to do the same over big pharma by demanding that Americans are not charged more for drugs that these companies charge in other countries.

As it turned out, the LIE about being able to keep your doctors, or keep your plan (many covering pre existing conditions) was destroyed by Obamacare and prices still went up. And they KNEW they would go up. But the plan was to insert single payer during "the Hillary administration" which did not happen.

Healthcare IS NOT a right.
 
This is court jester's plan, and it aint funny.



I didn't bother to watch your stupid video. But the Democarat plan is to go to single payer (Medicare for ALL) and then you will either be delayed care, or denied care, the way it happens in many socialized medicine countries in Europe. So for anyone with CRAP HMO here knows what that kind battle is like trying to get tests and procedures until the HMO decides you need it. Well, worse still under single payer, and why people in Europe and Asia with any wealth fly to the USA and pay for their healthcare in cash.
 
So you want to repeal Reagan's mandate that hospitals must treat all patients regardless of ability to pay?

Yes, unless they qualified for medicaid and the hospital is WILLING (not forced) to take Medicaid, then absolutly, turn the illegal aliens and others who refuse to buy insurance away. One group are criminals (illegals) and the other group already made a conscious choice to opt out. If it is not a life or death emergency, the call ICE to deport the illegals, and the others call them a taxi. People who show up at hospitals without insurance expecting to be treated are no different than people showing up at a steakhouse without money expecting to be fed.

You think the answer is to leave accident victims at the side of the road? Thank goodness that is the ravings of a lunatic instead of a possibility.

Life or death you treat them. Anything less than that you don't. And BTW, a broken arm or an upset tummy is not life or death.

The definition of a broken healthcare system is what you seem to want. A for profit HC system is never going to work for the American people. Profiting off someone's misfortune is not capitalism it is sadism.

BS!!!!!! The reason we have the best available healthcare in the USA is because it is for profit. The reason that life saving drugs are developed is because it is for proft. The reason the best surgeons with the best minds spend years in school and pay tens of thousands of dollars for their educations is to become wealthy and successful making a profit... same reason a person opens up a restaurant, starts a construction business, a bank, a car dealership----- NO MAKE A PROFIT.

Not there aren't non profit hospitals, but the staff are getting paid, they aren't doing it for nothing, and someone has to pay for equipment and infrastructure. You liberal socialist think everything should somehow be free..... which means as long as YOU don't have to pay for it.

If your car dies and you need to buy another one, do you consider the car dealership a "sadist" for profiting off of your misfortune? It is infantile to think anyone owes anyone anything for free. You want free care, go to Calcutta India and let Mother Theresa take care of you. But don't show up at a top notch quality hospital thinking that top notch care is going to free.

Life is tough. You want free, get a beggars cup and sit outside asking for donations or sell your car, or give up your apartment and move in with mommy and daddy.

Everybody dies eventually anyway. You want to live longer, then knock on wood, and have an emergency plan---- and prioritize paying healthcare premiums. Anyone who claims the can't afford healthcare premiums but as an iphone, a nice car, a TV with sourround, cable TV, or buys Starbucks 5 times per week can probably afford a minimum coverage healthcare premium---- IF they had their priorities in line.



You've got some theories, and all that's missing is someone putting them into a plan, so we can see how they actually work in something like 20% of our economy. Maybe after a decade post-ACA the GOP could start working on this plan.....

Here is a theory: NOTHING is free, somebody else has to pay for your free stuff. I don't want to, I'm already paying enough.

So the reason we have the most deaths in the world from the covid virus is because of profit? That makes sense. No one makes money without sick people and the more sick people we have the more profit for them too. Our Health Care system is middling at its best as far as results go but we pay more than double what the rest of the world does for HC anyway. That is where profit gets us. We pay more for less and have made it profitable to have more sick people than other countries so we do.

Trump does not support that, nor does any Republican in Congress. That’s why they never introduced legislation to do that, including when they had unified control of government. Their focus has always been on overturning the ban on pre-existing conditions.

FUD
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. That is all the Dems have left to peddle. Donald Trump has just said he will sign an executive order to protect the pre existing conditions part of the ACA. Doesn't make it law, but that part is the EASY part. Republicans did not repeal the ACA even when they had the power to do it nearly 4 years ago. At this point even if it were revisted by a Republican controlled congress---or they redo or reform ACA, it would never happen without a pre existing protection clause. Everyone knows this, Dems are just trying to scare voters, they haven't any cards left to play.

6 years after ACA the opinions of the voters have shifted on this, including Republicans. Add post covid to the mix if this comes up and that plays into it as well. For Republicans this could be as toxic as gun bans proved to be for the Democrats. I don't see pre existing condition protections going away even if the ACA does. Republicans will however fight single payer, and that is a good thing for most insured Americans.

The failure of Obama and the Democrats was to enact the ACA without one Republican onboard. That is terrible statesmanship.

Stop spreading FUD.

So, Trump is basing his campaign on the message that America is crime ridden, with burning cities and anarchism and it’s the Democrats that are pedaling fear?
 

"President Donald Trump will sign a series of executive orders aimed at protecting people with preexisting conditions and look for a way to prevent surprise medical bills, senior administration officials said Thursday.

Trump is expected to discuss the executive orders, which are part of his “America First” health-care plan, during his visit to Charlotte, North Carolina later Thursday, the officials said.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters on a conference call that one of the orders would declare it the policy of the United States to “provide protections to ensure that Americans with preexisting conditions are protected regardless of whether the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional and its protections for preexisting conditions invalidated.”

“The president is also taking action to protect surprise billing, a source of financial insecurity for all Americans who do have insurance that has gone unaddressed for two years now,” he said.

Liberals are going to have a difficult time continuing to argue that this is all a facade, and some kind of right-wing conspiracy to fool people into believing pre-existing conditions will be protected. Or that Trump, Cruz, and Rubio have been lying for four years about their intentions.

Another executive order full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.. Obviously the man is too lazy to do the hard work of leading in the creation of and the passing of legislation. Plus I think he really doesn't care about health care. It's a subject area that appears to not animate him in any way whatsoever.

Trump and the GOP will be asking the Supreme Court to overturn pre-existing condition protections on November 10–well, they’ve already asked, the briefs are already filed. November 10 is just the oral arguments.

Regardless, their position is clear. As if the dozens and dozens of votes by the GOP over the last decade to overturn those protections weren’t clear enough. Or their disastrous failed attempt in 2017 to construct an alternative to the ACA. Or Trump’s ongoing efforts to use executive actions to weaken protections for pre-existing conditions.

Anybody who “knows” the GOP will protect people with pre-existing conditions has had their head buried in the sand for the past decade.

The case before the SCOTUS in November is about the constitutionality of the ACA due to a lower court decision saying the individual mandate was unconstitutional. When Obamacare came to the SCOTUS Judge Roberts (conservative appointed) sided with the liberal faction, however the decision was that the ACA as a "tax" and as such the congress had the power to tax. A decision which even shocked the Obama administration.

So this gets sort of convoluted. The ACA was FULL OF PROBLEMS as designed, and we now understand it was always intended to be replaced by single payer anyway with the expectation of a HRC administration. But what is being decided isn't just about pre -existing conditions, it is the whole enchilada again. And even if the entire ACA is struck down on this run, it will be replaced with something else, and I can assure that will include pre existing condition protections. Republicans would not be committing individual political suicide to take that away, not now, not at this point. And Trump's signalling his desire to protect pre existing is the proof.

All ACA could claim was that they added a few million more people to having medical care, but then the costs went through the roof (as they KNEW is would but lied), and then other people couldn't even afford Obamacare, and in some states there wasn't any doctors taking it. A total mess! But they knew that, and wanted that. To cynically destroy private healthcare and then replace it with single payer care. And at what cost to Medicare??? They even want to give it to illegals!!!

Yeah, great plan dems. Promise everyone worse healthcare, but available to all, including those who should not be getting it, and screwing over retired people when Medicare goes to sh---. Nice plan!
 
Raw story covered this.

President Donald Trump’s healthcare plan was blasted Thursday for pushing things that are already in place, taking credit for past laws and making grand announcements that Trump will never be able to ensure actually happen. It took Trump five years to come up with this healthcare “plan.”

To start, Trump began by making the same promise that President Barack Obama did – “If you like your doctor you can keep them.” The regulation of which doctors are covered under healthcare plans aren’t handled by the government as individual insurance companies make their own corporate decisions about which doctors are covered under their plans.

He also declared that every patient would have access to their healthcare records, something that is already in place under HIPPA laws. With very few exceptions, HIPAA gives every American access to their records upon request.

Trump also announced that his executive order would officially make it the policy of the U.S. government to support coverage of pre-existing conditions. It’s already a law unless Trump can get the Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care Act. All an executive order would do is mandate it for government plans, not for the rest of the American people.
And despite what ACA supposedly did it did not cover every American and it was so costly that many who had it couldn't afford to use it because of copays, deductables and rising premiums. The main intent of Trumps plan was to actually make it more affordable while keeping the pre-existing conditions clause. Republicans have submitted a number of bills to repeal ACA as well as bills to serve as replacements and like so much of the work in Congress the Congress and the Republicans could not agree. Democrats refuse to negotiate any plan that touches ACA in any way.

Well said, and of course the promise to keep your coverage and your doctor was a total lie right out of Obama's mouth.

You said it, Donald Trump actually cares about making it affordable, he will (God willing) be attempting to make prescription drugs more affordable too.

My hope is that Trump is reelected and the Republicans hold the Senate next year. And if by chance the Dems keep the House...well, maybe that will be the thing which finally brings the two parties together and gets healthcare fixed, and maybe DACA / immigration too? If that is the case next year then BOTH sides will need to compromise otherwise they ALL risk the wrath of the American people. Obama was FOOLISH to ram ACA through without any Republican support. Pelosi saying, "you have to vote on the bill and make it law to find out what is in it" was lunacy.

No party should ever expect to get everything, even when they are in power. Reagan used to say that if he got 80% and compromised 20% he considered that a success. Washington needs to get back to governance and cut with the personal destruction. The Dems need to decide who they want to be, Socialists or something more in line with most of America. They do that, then THEY hold the keys to changing the Republican party too. Moving closer together means moving to the center lane or near it. That is where stuff gets done.

Donald Trump, even though you have unwavering faith in him, has made no attempt to make health care costs more affordable in the four years he has presided. His ONLY actions have been to takeaway what people already have. Like the Trump businessman, he'll promise you the moon so you'll sign on, and just not deliver.

During the health care debate, Obama made numerous concessions requested by Republicans in order to gain their support. They wasted his efforts and voted against it anyway. The failure to get Republican support was not because Obama didn't try. It was because Republicans were not going to vote for an Obama plan no matter what.

Regarding "compromise" your are invoking revisionist history. Let me remind you of Obama compromises, from Redstate: John Boehner: “We got 98% of what we wanted.”

Right-wings quote that lie ad nauseam. Why? Because Obama statements were particularly truthful with few exceptions and therefore they can't find another lie to quote. It's laughable that they say Obama lied while ignoring the 20,000 Trump lies, which grow daily.
 
Life is tough. You want free, get a beggars cup and sit outside asking for donations or sell your car, or give up your apartment and move in with mommy and daddy.

Everybody dies eventually anyway. You want to live longer, then knock on wood, and have an emergency plan---- and prioritize paying healthcare premiums. Anyone who claims the can't afford healthcare premiums but as an iphone, a nice car, a TV with sourround, cable TV, or buys Starbucks 5 times per week can probably afford a minimum coverage healthcare premium---- IF they had their priorities in line.

OK, just wanted to be clear about that. Bottom line is your preferences aren't going to happen, and there's really no point debating them. This country won't let someone with a compound fracture of the arm, or a simple fracture, be forced to self treat that. And millions of good, red blooded, working Americans simply can't afford insurance, and condemning them to painful deaths for that also isn't going to happen.

Just a couple of points. Insurers can already "sell insurance across state lines" but they do have to comply with state laws. What you're promoting is a race to the regulatory bottom with "across state lines" stuff. You can see it in action with credit cards. One state effectively deregulates, and that becomes the 50-state standard. It's a dream come true for the corporate elites, whose water you're carrying with that, and I'm sure they appreciate your efforts.

Also, what other products do you want the feds to impose price controls on based on what they can charge in "socialist" economic systems like healthcare? In other posts you're defending our capitalist system, then in the next post you want to impose price controls on the 'free market' based on what socialist systems impose on them by force of government. Can you pick a side? Your plan is to socialize the drug industry through the backdoor.

That’s what you will hear from him on Tuesday night. “I alone can fix it”.

There's no teeth to this.

What is an Executive Order?
...
With an executive order, the president instructs the government how to work within the parameters already set by Congress and the Constitution. In effect, this allows the president to push through policy changes without going through Congress. ...

Insurance companies don't have to do anything regarding this EO.
