Everybody Has A Plan.

       According to Drew Altman, president of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, the Republican healthcare plan includes converting Medicaid to a block grant program for the states and eliminating the expansion to cover childless citizens. And Converting Medicare to a plan that reduces the amount of payments and provides a set amount for citizens to buy coverage. And it's not being debated in public at all.
       Of course nothing is cast in paper Mache as yet, except for the theme that they want to cut back on helping people. Now let me be the first to point out that the Republican leadership in Congress likes people. They think we're really nice. Nice enough to accept whatever they decide to throw at us as a replacement for the hated Obamacare.
       So, while 12 million have signed up this year for the Affordable Care Act coverage, nobody knows what they'll have before this year is over. One of the complaints the Republicans have with Obamacare is the individual mandate which requires that everyone buys the insurance or pays a penalty. But the thing they don't admit is that its what makes any national plan work. At least any plan that actually covers everyone with at least a basic minimum of coverage.
       The plan they're suggesting will cost the government less and the people a lot more, unless you want an el-cheapo policy that basically gives you no coverage at all. Ya see, having to buy into a plan when you're young may seem unfair, but when you get older and can't get insurance because of your illnesses, and believe me, you will have illnesses when you get older, you'll be happy you have a plan like Obamacare. Except the Republicans want to get rid of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
