“An Obamacare Replacement Worth Considering NOW”
Bill Bunkley with Something To Think About
President Trump is right to hold Senate Republicans feet to the fire on replacing Obamacare NOW.
One potential solution comes from a source who’s 1000% behind Trump’s pressure to keep Senators working on a fix NOW, Senator Lindsay Graham.
Graham’s suggestion: direct all Obamacare funding in the form of block grants back to individual states.
Four states unfairly receive 40% of Obamacare funding: New York, Massachusetts, California, and Maryland.
The Senator correctly argues that state governments are better equipped and closer to the people, so give them the money to create market driven insurance networks at the local level.
Give the states flexibility to cross state lines to enter into regional buying consortiums for best price negotiations with providers.
Best of all, block grants stop the current trajectory dragging us down towards socialized medicine.
It is indeed a plan worth considering, right NOW.
