“Critics often respond that such an approach risks [medical] innovation. But this objection confuses incentives. Innovation depends on expected returns across global markets, not on extracting monopoly rents from one population while offering discounts to another.” Just like the naysayers who refused to understand that tariffs could be absorbed by manufacturers while still making a profit possible, Trump has turned markets around so American consumers are being protected from unreasonable and highly inflationary pressures. Trump is a brilliant economist!
Not rushed at all. Project 2025 through Heritage Foundation was a plan started during Trump’s first administration to bring about conservative priorities for lowering the cost of insurance and increase choice in coverage. President Trump has prioritized healthcare because he saw how premiums climbed after Obamacare was implemented. Here is some of the work he did during his first administration on healthcare reform. https://www.heritage.org/health-care-reform/commentary/look-back-trumps-health-care-reforms
When a person decides to change healthcare insurance plans between October and December, they file paperwork and are accepted by the new Insurance company. The previous Healthcare provider takes the regular premium out of the insured’s account for the month of January in the new year. Why are they allowed to do this? Then the person has to go through the ridiculously difficult process to get the money returned.
Second, a person that does not take any prescription drugs is forced to enroll in a Healthcare plan that includes prescription drug coverage. There are no other options available unless you were in a branch of the Armed Services. If the person opts out of prescription coverage when first enrolling in Medicare, then is forced into a plan that has drug coverage, that person is fined every month for the rest of their life for drug coverage that they do not intend to use. Again, why is this allowed?
Yes, totally agree. Will it be disruptive? Yes. Will it be effective? Yes. Much like Trump himself.
Our healthcare systems and insurance schemes are broken today, and NOBODY trusts them. This will fix that, and in short order.

Great article explaining Trump’s healthcare plan to easily understand the reasons why it would benefit us all.
It might have good points, but it was rushed together in about one month, so really hard to think it is thoughtfully put together.

Two things I would like to see change:

This needs to change!
Sadly, I won't be the first to observe that sentences starting with "Congress should" describe things that are unlikely to occur.
Well said, amuse. You demonstrate transparency yourself with your prose.
Yes absolutely!❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
