GOP health care plan throws N.J.'s vulnerable into the streets according to : NJ New

By Debra L. WentzNow is the time for Congress to come together to ensure all Americans have affordable, quality health care. The draconian cuts that have been proposed in the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the bill that would repeal portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), are certainly not the fixes that are needed. Among them are tens of thousands of individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders who are at risk of losing life-saving services from community-based providers. New Jersey's community-based behavioral health system of care will soon be overwhelmingly dependent on those enhanced federal matching funds. And it is time for Congress to improve the ACA, not destroy it, and ensure that all Americans receive affordable, comprehensive, quality health care regardless of their age, their pre-existing conditions or where they live.




Trump is being urged by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and organizations representing the health care and health insurance communities to preserve about $7 billion a year in subsidies for insurance purchased by some Americans. Trump and congressional leaders should insist that on health insurance reform, everything needs to be on the table. Drawing a curtain around the White House does not serve that end. Maintain transparencySome of what Americans knew about former President Obama came through knowledge of visitors welcomed to the White House. For example, ensuring young adults can stay on their parents' health insurance policies until they reach 26 years of age has become very popular — regardless of whether it is an intelligent manipulation of the marketplace.

Donald Trump literally knows nothing: The moronic fiction of his "really, really good" health care plan is now obvious

"It's gotten really, really good" isn't the language of a man who's familiar with the details. In other words, at least until recently, describing how things have "gotten really, really good" was merely a joke at the expense of stupid people. The president who chose health care reform as his big legislative goal in his first 100 days doesn't know anything about how health care works. During a joint press conference with the president of Italy, Trump said, "The plan gets better and better and better, and it's gotten really, really good. Oh and incidentally, "gotten really, really good" might sound familiar because it's the same awkward phrase Will Ferrell once used in a George W. Bush parody video back in 2004 (check the YouTube clip at 40 seconds in).
