the biggest problem in this discussion is that everyone only knows a part of the truth.
if you look deeper into the argument that "obamacare is too expensive" you will find out that they do not talk about obamacare - they are talking about the costs of the complete healthcare system.
the biggest factor in this system is medicaid - because there is no one who even pays a dollar for that.
medicaid will definately explode because it was paid by the taxpayer since the 60s (when obama was not even in school).
now calculate the following:
trumps plan is to decrease taxes from the rich - that means he will have LESS income from the few people who pay the most tax in the country.
medicaid WAS ALWAYS paid from this taxes (since obamacare a very small part came from the people who pay for insurance)
if you now make the rich a present and let them pay less, there will be less money in the pot for medicaid.
so what can you do to get this money????
you tell the normal citizens, that the healthsystem will explode and you push all to obamacare and not not split the whole thing in his real parts.
than you make a change what will give normal people less secuity OR let them pay more.
as you are SUCH A GOOD person you will allow to deduct more medical care costs from the tax - what means that YOU PAY this money to someone else and HE pays the tax instead of you - so you (the state) will not lose money with this present.
because you reduced the standard services by 40% but the costs only by 20% you have money in the cash for medicaid.
this calculation is SO obvious and should be seen from everyone who can count 1+1 together.
