Why this renewed assault? “Obamacare Sucks!!!” declared the former and possibly future president. For those offended by the language, these are Trump’s own words, and I think I owe it to my readers to report what he actually said, not sanitize it. Trump also promised to provide “MUCH BETTER HEALTHCARE” without offering any specifics.
So let’s discuss substance here. Does Obamacare, in fact, suck? And can we believe Trump’s promise to offer something much better?
We could go back to not insuring people for pre-existing conditions. Obamacare isn’t the be all end all of healthcare, and it could certainly be better, but it’s not getting better under Trump.
If it was up to insurance companies, they’d classify “being born” as a pre-existing condition. That parameter is just there to protect their assets from the “greedy” sick people who file claims, and they’ll push that line of what is and isn’t covered as far back as they can. Don’t give them the line to move.
