or charge a higher premium, to those with pre-existing conditions. And being allowed to buy insurance from another state does not help those people; no insurance company in any state will issue a policy to a cancer patient unless the law says that they have to.

states, so it will be so competitive for insurance companies that health care will be cheap. This is a yuuuuge and tremendous idea that will make America great again and our health care the envy of the world. He really is going to save us all. I can't access the sarcasm gizmo.

If ONLY the suggestions Trump makes are used, it will not work. They need to be add-ons to existing health care program.

don't care bout that. In fact, if he came up with a real solution he would lose support. They think the ACA is horrible and should be stopped. Not stopped and replaced. This is one reason they hate Roboto and carnival cruz. The ACA was passed under their watch.

...and ripped it to shreds. Looks like the Donald will end up "asking Congress" to do just about everything. Which also suggests that the Dems have to focus on the House and Senate races.
