It also does not address insurance for the working 'poor' that cannot afford insurance -- which is so Republican wrong -- as usual.

Trump promised no one will be left out on healthcare -- so let's hear from him.
Premium increases need to be inflation capped at the very least. What about the costs of the aging population and advances in science that cost more?

The only way to reduce costs is to go to the head of the problem. The Private Healthcare industry.
