ObamaCare vs TrumpCare

8/21/2017

1 Comment

 
Healthcare has been in the news recently with President Trump continuing to try and make good on his promise to repeal Obamacare. The GOP replacement plan is different, yet fundamentally very similar.

For example, while the details differ, both feature subsidies that depend on income as well as penalties for going without coverage.

I am very sympathetic to those who can't afford good healthcare, having been there myself. Regulating every aspect of the system isn't the right answer though. From the official TrumpCare site, the focus remains on taxes, regulations, and government interference in the market:
Trumpcare and Medi-Share
What we need instead is a free market in medicine and healthcare, instead of an artificially limited supply of doctors who bill overly-regulated insurance companies. Doctors should be incentivized to care about their patients, and provide transparent and competitive prices. Higher taxes and subsidies will not solve this problem. 

In the meanwhile, Medi-Share continues to offer a health insurance alternative with lower cost, greater flexibility, and a wider array of doctors and specialists. It opts you out of penalties and the bureaucratic health insurance labyrinths. Until we have genuine change to the system, that's about as good as we can hope for.

What Does the Donald Trump Presidency Mean for Obamacare?

11/16/2016

It is becoming more and more widely accepted that Obamacare is a failure for most Americans. Even President Clinton has referred to it as the “craziest thing in the world.” Here in Florida, Obamacare premiums are expected to increase by another 25% or more. Mainstream publications are increasingly reporting on reduced selection, higher prices, and declining service. ​
​
Donald Trump ObamaCare

Enter the election of Donald Trump. The President-Elect
 has stated that he will repeal Obamacare. Whether he will actually do that, and eliminate compulsory insurance, remains to be seen. While we certainly hope that happens, Mr. Trump has previously stated that he is in favor of universal healthcare, and subsequent to being elected, has begun praising aspects of ObamaCare -- such as the “prohibition against insurers denying coverage because of patients' existing conditions.”

As discussed in the Chicago Tribune article mentioned in the first paragraph, measures such as requiring insurers to grant full coverage to those with existing conditions, and limiting how much the elderly can be charged, may sound both positive and charitable. But unfortunately someone has to bear the cost, and the average person pays significantly more for insurance as a result ... often a completely unaffordable amount for hard-working middle class families.

What do we advocate instead?

T
he one true solution is a free market with transparent pricing where doctors and hospitals compete for our business with better service and lower prices. We should know how much we'll be paying in advance, and have control over our own healthcare. Let us also all contribute to charities we like that help provide medical care to those who can't afford it for themselves. But such contributions should be voluntary.

We will see in the coming months exactly what President Elect Trump intends to do. We hope that in addition to ending any form of compulsory health insurance, he also works toward a freer market in healthcare and lower prices.

If you do not want to pay the skyrocketing costs of conventional insurance, or potentially thousands of dollars per year in penalties to the government, consider healthcare sharing. See what you would pay with Medi-Share compared to conventional insurance. Call them up and see how easy it is to talk with an actual human who wants to answer your questions and help you.

Christians can opt out of the failed system like so many others want to do, but without paying the high and increasing Obamacare penalty. And in the process, we can have significantly more flexibility, pay much less each month, and become part of a system that genuinely cares about its members.
