Trump’s Health Plan

Posted on the 03 March 2016 by Calvinthedog

Radical free market health plan.

It’s the same garbage that all the Republicans are pushing.

Block-granting Medicaid.

Weakening the FDA’s control over the pharmaceutical industry is terrible. So is streamlining the process for approval of new drugs.

The whole thing is awful. It will not do one single thing to make health care better in the US. Trump is just another rich radical rightwing Republican.

Awful:

  • Weakening control of the pharmaceutical industry and the Food and Drug Administration over drug testing, production and approval. It’s already far too streamlined and corrupt as it is. That’s why we have all these dangerous new pills allowed onto the market every year that injure and kill so many people. Loosening things up even more would be great for the pharmaceutical industry and terrible for everyone else.
  • Turning Medicaid into a block grant to the states, decentralizing the social welfare program from federal control. In other words, he will ruin Medicaid. Block-granting social programs is just a nice way of sticking it to the poor.

As a wealthy corporatist billionaire, I assume Trump much have a lot of rich buddies in the health care, health insurance, hospital, and pharmaceutical industries. This health plan is like a Republican Party dream come true. It will be great for all of those industries and terrible for everyone else. Everything for Trump, his companies and his rich pals and buddies in corporate America and nothing for anybody else.
