Hah! The only thing complicated about it is allowing people to keep their “Obamacare” without the Republicans looking like they caved in. The Republicans still have to look like they oppose “Obamacare” even though they created it back in the ’90s to fend off the comprehensive health care proposal Hillary used work towards.
What could be less complicated than throwing the sick, elderly and young to the insurance companies to squeeze every last dime out of us? Trump promised to replace Obamacare “with reforms that expand choice, increase access, lower costs, and at the same time, provide better healthcare.” Trump’s demands included: ensuring coverage for those with preexisting conditions, tax credits and health savings accounts, more flexibility with Medicaid dollars for the states, changing laws to restrict malpractice lawsuits, and selling insurance across state lines.
You want a health care plan that both works and is affordable? Get the politicians, lawyers and insurance companies out of it and let nurses design it.
It’s not really that complicated. The Republicans have an easy out. Just go to single payer. That was what the Democrats have been trying to accomplish since FDR, so they will vote for it. The Trump supporters will be thrilled that Trump got rid of Obamacare, and if Trump doesn’t tell them it was the Democrats’ plan, they will never know it. No one will lose insurance so no one dies, it’s a win-win, except for the insurance companies, who have been fighting against universal coverage for decades. They will simply have to agree to cover everyone, at a price the government agrees to, or the government can provide the insurance directly and cut them out completely.

Donald Trump said, “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.”
Actually everyone except for the lying idiot knew.

Good idea. Copy the German, Japanese, or even Canadian model

Use what worked best in other models and improve or decrease foreseeable drawbacks in the programs. {killing off the sick is not the first resort}

ACA was a republican Heritage Foundation plan to begin with and they wanted it to be single payer originally.
