So I guess the rug was pulled from under President Trump’s feet, considering that the mighty Republicans have failed to repeal the alleged “horrible” Affordable care act; and have not yet replaced such Medicare with something suitable for the community. It also turns out that the president may be at odds with Paul Ryan, something that even a blind man could see coming.
And now here come the Democrats and the progressives of the world, capitalizing on the prey that is: Donald Trump.
And with that, the Democratic Party is rushing to create a health care reform that can save the people from a Republican attack. There are problems that arise from this feat though, being that some critics see the Affordable Care Act under the Obama Administration (Obamacare) a major problem; contributing to this system of privatizing health insurances. While Democrats are pushing to keep the cookie cutter layout and make improvements that help the American people, there have been mixed feelings as to how long will it take before affordable health care will actually become affordable and efficient.
Recent comments have been made on behalf of Senator Bernie Sanders on MSNBC television network in which he express deep concern for these turn of events, stating that we should “have the guts to take on insurance and drug companies” and progress into a “single-player” Medicare program system. He plans to also introduce legislation that will implement his proposed changes, making his strengths as senator even more of a reason why he led in the most young and independent voters during his probably last presidential campaign.
But the question that arises from the improvement of the Affordable Care Act through legislation is whether Donald Trump would cooperate with the proposed change?
The answer is no.
Even with the failed attempt of repealing of Obamacare, the Republicans are continuing to fight to gain ground, despite the relationship problems within the oval office. Cooperation between the president and Sanders might be plausible in kick starting a health care system that is in doubt, but it’s just not likely to happen. We face a major problem with private corporations; fighting to gain the upper hand at the costs of tax payer’s lives, all so that they can earn another dollar in their bank account. They use the high premiums to get what they want, and put a price tag on your health. It seems like nowadays, it’s becoming harder and harder to survive; with some worrying about death immediately after they become sick because they can’t afford proper medication. Democrats pushing to expand Medicare could either cause tension between the republicans, or it can be reviewed an accepted as a whole.
The conflict also faced with healthcare is that fact that no one knows where to start. There is an extreme lack of support on behalf of private corporations that continue to spike up prices for these drugs, and the government is doing nothing to combat that as well. One solution to this problem is to lower the age restriction that it has, with the age being at around 60-65 minimum. This change can help lower premiums, and also help get more individuals enrolled in Medicare without the doubt of financial security. Deals can also be constructed to lower the over the counter costs and provide better safety nets for current members regardless of the amount of years as a member.
This push has to come to be recognized in order for it to come together, but it is up to Trump to make that decision, not mine.
What do you think?
