A new study shows the disastrous results of Trump’s “plan”.

Trump would cause about 20 million to lose coverage while Hillary Clinton would provide coverage for an additional 9 million people. The 2016 presidential campaign has brought voters to a crossroads on health care yet again. The U.S. uninsured rate stands at a historically low 8.6 percent, mainly because of President Barack Obama’s health care law, which expanded government and private coverage. Yet it’s uncertain if the nation’s newest social program will survive the election. Republican candidate Trump would repeal “Obamacare” and replace it with a new tax deduction, insurance market changes, and a Medicaid overhaul. Democrat Clinton would increase financial assistance for people with private insurance and expand government coverage as well.

    I would not have any coverage were it not for Obama care.Millions of others would be in the same position.There are plenty of flaws in Obama care,but once again that is so because of repuke resistance to the original idea that was presented by Obama.We need universal coverage similar to the coverage in just about every modern nation.Our medical professionals are for the most part great people,but our system is still dominated by the greed of big insurance,still for profit to enrich ceo’s,and far to complex.Only universal coverage will ever straighten this mess out,and Trump would do the exact opposite,and destroy what little progress has been made.

      After decades of paying insurance premiums and hardly ever getting sick, I finally got a serious illness.

      Thank God, it happened after Obamacare was passed. Without it, I would have hit lifetime caps and been in financial ruin.

      Thanks, Obama!

        I am sure there are more that have benefitted by it than have had negatives,although I know of some of the negative incidents.I had to retire a year before my retirement age because of a worsening disability.Previous to O care my state would not have helped.Its done a lot for the poor and disabled.Some seem to think we should just be left to die,even though I paid into the system all my working years,a little over 40.No one should face financial ruin because of inability to pay.Most are unable to pay because it’s always been to damn expensive to afford.That needs to change.With Hillary there’s a chance for that change.With despot it will be worse than before since he has no concern for the struggling ones.

    Not just Trump — all Republicans.

    If you have a preexisting condition, they are your mortal enemy. And the enemy of your life saving, too.

    If this sounds like hyperbole, you don’t understand the how healthcare works in our country.
