Personally I think it is a mistake to repeal Obamacare without an alternative medical insurance for the people. They should have done something to cap the deductibles, the maximum claim allowed per year and the profitability of the hospitals and insurance companies. Obamacare should not be the profit drivers for the doctors, hospital and insurance companies. It should be more of public service to the people.

I fully agree with you, to stop the Obamacare without an alternative it's a big mistake.

A lot of developed countries have national insurance or free healthcare for the people, yet US does not have it. Obamacare takes care of the poor yet Trump wants to remove it on his first day of presidency.

@LadyDuck He has no plan yet. In his book, he says that he would call all the experts to discuss about it, and then let the insurance companies bid for it.

@scheng1 I have heard that he wants a new healthcare system, but I have not yet understood what he plans to do.

I think this is one of the tough issues that hopefully a good solution happens with the next president. I don't know if you saw my post about my high expense for glasses and the entire board that posted said they are high. It was just the start of expensive and I didn't post the high dental bill. If you need a strong prescription to see you are going to really pay with the plan the way it is now. Most people would not have spent the large amount of money and would have continued the way I was before couldn't see and had to have help for many things.

If Trump starts to impose tariff on imports, that will drive up the cost of living for all of you! The government will get all the money from the tariff, and the people will pay for it. Just hope that he does not do such stupid thing until he can get the manufacturing companies to set up factories first.
