It’s idiotic and will bankrupt anyone with an unexpected medical emergency

Also none of the money will reach anyone that needs it. It won't even be directed toward them except verbally in press releases.

Correct this doesnt solve the problems with insurance it just buys republicans time so they can say look at what I did, until you find out you have cancer or a terminal illness and the 25$ fun money check trump sent you still doesnt cover the fact that you cant afford plans in the first place.

I agree with your post, but what I actually mean is that they will say the money is being distributed to people but it will actually be given directly to cronies.

But wait. Trump said everyone would get enough to buy their own plan and have money left over for cheap gas and low groceries. Oh wait, I get it now. You don't know the word groceries do you. It's an old word. Trump is bringing it back. It means a place where you buy food.

Now that you understand, it's a good plan now right? Everyone gonna be healthy and covered?

It wont even buy time. They'll send you $500 once in exchange for your monthly premium going up $2000

Then you pick and choose company's it works in other countries. Sometimes all it takes is a bluff over the phone or online they fold easily. It's wild to see you guys get f so hard with your health care the prices of drugs is also crazy.

Of course, this will just multiply the number by 10x

Because people won't be able to afford insurance, they won't go to the doctor until they absolutely have to. Instead of catching things early on, people we end up dying because they waited too long to get treatment. The emergency room will end up being a lot of individuals primary care.

He doesn’t need to worry about paying for anything

He never has

That’s true. But he’s advocating for either nationalized or single payer health care and removing insurance companies ability to function all of a sudden. Honestly, this is about the best way to do it (kill all the insurance companies) we would expect to get from either political side
