Let Obamacare fail - Trump's new plan

President Donald Trump has said the new Republican healthcare policy should be to allow the current law to collapse.

"I'm not going to own it," Mr Trump told reporters of Obamacare, "I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it."

Support for the Republican Senate bill fell apart on Monday when two more senators said they could not back it.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Mr Trump was "playing a dangerous game" with the US healthcare system.

"He is actively, actively trying to undermine the healthcare system in this country using millions of Americans as political pawns in a cynical game", Mr Schumer said on Tuesday.

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell vowed to hold a vote to repeal Obamacare only, but the plan withered within hours after three Republican senators came out against it

I actually watched that announcement lying cunts drivel live and thought about sticking it in my other thread. But nay the voices in my head said unto me - monsters come in many aspects and bearing gifts.

Wrong again.

- 51 percent of the public now sees Obamacare favorably.
- Majorities of the public oppose cuts to Medicaid.
- There is also strong opposition to weakening federal Obamacare rules requiring certain health benefits, and that prevent insurers from charging sicker customers more.

The poll also found that a House bill which closely resembles the new Senate bill released Thursday is still widely unpopular with the public — and that support for the House's proposal to repeal and replace much of Obamacare has significantly dropped among Republicans.

Fifty-five percent of the public views the House's American Health Care Act unfavorably, compared with just 30 percent with favorable views of that bill, according to the survey.

And since May, support among Republicans for the House bill has dropped from 67 percent to 56 percent. The House's bill barely won passage in May.

Kaiser's survey additionally revealed that strong majorities of Americans, regardless of political stripe, have favorable views of Medicaid, the government health coverage program for the poor.

Only slightly above one-third of people support cuts to the expansion of Medicaid benefits to more poor adults that Obamacare put into place, and for changing federal funding for all of Medicaid, which would limit how much states receive in financial support. Both of those proposals are key parts of the Senate and House bills, which would also change the way the federal government subsidizes the purchase of private individual health plans.

The survey also found that large shares of the public, and majorities of people in both major political parties, supported the federal government barring health insurers from charging people with pre-existing health conditions more money for their coverage, and requiring that insurance plans cover a certain minimum set of health benefits. Both the Senate and House bills could weaken such control by the federal government.

"The public at large is deeply skeptical about the repeal-and-replace plan, with support among the Republican base hanging in but slipping and in danger of falling further," said Drew Altman, CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Half of the public believed "they and their family will be better off if the Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land, compared to a little more than a third (36) who think they will be better off under the Republican plan," Kaiser said in a summary of the poll results.
