GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said his health care plan will replace ObamaCare if he is elected to the White House, promising that his full plan will be released in the spring.
NBC’s Kristen Welker pressed DeSantis, the Florida governor, on former President Trump’s vow to repeal and replace ObamaCare — a promise that he failed to keep during his time in the White House.
“Here’s what I will do. What I think they’re going to need to do is have a plan that will supersede ObamaCare, that will lower prices for people so that they can afford health care while also making sure that people will preexisting conditions are protected. And we’re going to look at the big institutions that are causing prices to be high: Big Pharma, big insurance, and big government,” he said on “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
However, he offered scant details for his proposal when asked what “supersede” meant. He said that his plan will have coverage that is “different and better” at the “lowest possible price.”
“different and better” and “lowest possible price” can only mean one thing: single-payer, tax-funded “medicare for all”.
that’s what he means, right?
You’re right, but even if that was what he was promising, he would still be lying.
FTA:
“Look, nobody knows how much anything costs. Well, of course it’s not going to lower prices. There’s third-party payers.”
So if he’s eliminating 3rd party payers… it makes it SOUND like he’s backing single-payer, but I bet he’s just pushing it all onto the patient.
if the patient is the only one paying, it’s still “single payer”
Yup, yup!
Well, if there’s only one patient. Do we have confirmation he plans to cover anyone but himself?
