No matter what the proposal on health care coming from the Trump administration you can bet it will have certain characteristics. First it will make health care less accessible for the patient. Second it will increase the out-of-pocket for the patient to the point where even one incident will break the patient.

And on the other side of the ledger, there will be an insurance company whose payouts will decrease, their exposure will be lessened and their ways to use the system to deny claims will be greatly enhanced. The Trump administration has been proposing in very misleading messages that make such plans seem viable when they are really not. They are generally referred to as “junk plans” throughout the industry.

As the subsidies for Obamacare are set to go away after the election and Medicaid is being taken from millions across the country, the Trump administration has no replacement but junk. With the midterm elections just around the corner, the fact that the USA has one of the worst healthcare systems in the world should be a front burner issue. It is something that in former days people would be raging about.

While the extreme right has spent the campaign deflecting from the real issues with name calling and outrageous racism voters are looking at their pocketbooks and seeing them drained as never before. And the only solutions the extreme right offers is more money for more oligarchs. Voters know that a real threat of turning out officeholders who ignore their needs is the power they need to exercise.

In Iowa, our congressional delegation has been down the line with Trump and his extremist agenda. They talk about the one bill they passed in this congress that gave a few crumbs to the likes of you and me while giving huge tax cuts to the rich and taking away programs for the poor that in many cases are their lifeline. SNAP, Medicaid and subsidies for Obamacare.

Democrats will stand up for the likes of you and me. Their first concern will not be how to monetize our suffering for themselves or their buddies. No, Democrats first concern is to fix the problem. Republicans have acted almost as an enemy combatant in the past 40 years.

Our constitution says we are the power in this government. Now is the time to step up and use that power for our good, not the good of the wealthy.

Here is a short video with candidate for US Senate Josh Turek discussing his health care proposals. Remember the earlier video where Politics Girl had an emergency in a foreign country and it was fixed? With leaders like Josh Turek, America could do that also!

You gotta love this guy and you gotta love his health care stand. One thing is sure, Hinson cares more about some oligarchs pocketbook than your health.
