The art of suggestion. We’re living in a delusional world.

yes, no, no, no yes, whateva

When I worked as an freelancer I’ve had to go find health insurance as an individual person. There’s no negotiating and it’s 4 times as expensive as when you work for a corporation.

This fucking moron.

What an idiot. I've been buying individual/family insurance for decades. No one wants that feeling of being an entrepreneur.

“feel like”

A bear skin for my hip replacement.

What's his cut? Just back his truck up and throw it in the back. Ignore the goons in the front seat.

So let's see this plan, Donald. Or will it be ready in, say, two weeks.

Stupidest president ever elected in US history by the slimmest margin in US history!

Preach! Before the ACA I was denied insurance for the pre-existing condition of being female. I had a hysterectomy (anemia, adenomyosis/endometriosis *not cancer*). I was otherwise 100% healthy and in my late 30s. I worked with an insurance broker and he was literally like, "Nobody will cover you".

yea No

Yeah, OK. give Aetna a call and see how willing they are to negotiate on coverage for one person. Fucking moron. 😂

No pushback on this nonsense from the interviewer... of course.

Give Trump a few days and he'll be all in for single payer medical.

If you can't dazzle with brillance baffle with bullshit.

It certainly sounds like he's been working on this for 10 years

Tell me you don't understand how anything works without saying you don't understand how anything works. FFS 🤦‍♂️

He can have the $80,000 hip replacement or the $100,000 prostate cancer surgery and it would be like paying for a night out at the movies for anyone else. Screw him.

This is a-fucking-mazing. No wonder it’s taken him a decade to form this from the concepts of a plan stage.

I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale …

Gotttttttttttttt it. So he has no idea how really ANYthing works, huh?

Someone please explain what the hell he is talking about. Accounts? I’m so confused.

He truly is an idiot, plain and simple.

Robbing you of your bargaining power WILL NOT lower the price of your health insurance.

DJT…you are the worst president ever.

With that fried brain? Unsure..

Thinking is a bit of a stretch😂

idiot, imbecile, idjit

I have already seen this in action today over the insane fifty year mortgage idea. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

It’s going to be really cool to be in an awful car accident, bleeding out and unconscious, and able to shop for the best deal… in what? The tri-state area?

Laura Hitler Biggly

And Medicare and Medicaid would collapse overnight with his proposed policies - not to mention insurance rates would EXPLODE.

He has literally no idea what goes into a healthcare insurance policy. Copays, deductibles, max OOP, pharmacy benefits, covered and not covered services, pre-authorization requirements. On and on. Utterly laughable.

That's the biggest problem-health care and health insurance should not be for profit! The incentives are all wrong. The same for education and safety forces, including the prison system.

What an effin idiot.

what the fuck is this guy talking about? negotiate? like we “negotiate” for car insurance? works great, dipshit. and where is the money coming from? if everyone is paying less, who’s getting less and doing the same work?

First, that’s not how insurance has worked. Second, that’s an awful idea. Most people cannot negotiate particularly well. It’s not a personality flaw, it’s just a fact. So people will either get screwed, or have to hire an agent, meaning they’ll spend the money they’d “save” anyway.

Totally clueless drivel.

Fucking idiot

Good Christ America is no more

So we pay taxes that will go into an account so we can give it to insurance companies- but *we* have to do our own negotiating, individually, with massive corporations?

I would be surprised if DJT ever had insurance before he became president. He looks like someone who never visited a doctor unless he was in pain, and then he just promised to pay the doctor directly and skipped out on the bill.

It’s not the dumbest thing Trump has said, but only because that’s an impossibly low bar.

Nearly a decade and he still only has a concept of a plan (and the concept is fucking garbage)

I suppose it would be churlish to point out that negotiating with insurance companies is what made the ACA necessary in the first place.

He doesn't care.

Insurance companies write their policies, determine the risk and set their premiums. There is no negotiation. Never will be.

As does the 50-year mortgages. So much damage.

Just how I want to spend my retirement years, bargaining with insurance companies. I’ll have so much clout doing it on my own.

Jesus. No wonder he went bankrupt so many times. He has completely no idea how any of this works does he? Just a failing upwards daddies boy who's managed to sell his soul and lie and cheat his way to the presidency, twice. Damn those Hong Kong bankers back in the day, he's finished without them.

Now doing mix and match with some magical “accounts” and insurance.

That might cover one month. Is he sending a check monthly?

People have all the time in the world to have negotiations about how much they should pay for healthcare, right? No recitals, no overtime, no home projects, etc etc Idiot is terminally out of touch - elect a trust fund baby and this is what you get

That is nonsense. They don't have a plan. They have never had a plan.

That's the GOP plan. Then you don't take the day off to see pesky doctors and then insurance doesn't have to help anyone pay for medicine.

The dems WERE trying until last night

His mouth-breathers just got on board when they heard him say they'd feel like entrepreneurs. Makes them feel important.

That sounds like Medicare for all to me

MF has obviously never gone on the suicide mission of calling a health insurance provider Customer Service.

This is Trump’s solution to the healthcare crisis? Throw a bit of cash at people. It’s bereft of any leadership and concrete support to ensure people have healthcare. Trump must think people are stupid. Oh right, he’s always said he LOVES the uneducated.

Because a single person/family negotiating with a massive, multinational insurance corporation always does notoriously well!🙄

I have worked and lived in Canada and Mexico and lemme tell you--there is nothing better than not having to think about healthcare or plans or co pays. You just show up, show your social insurance card and they fix you. Then you leave. No negotiations necessary.

I’d love to see how the typical Trump voter “negotiates” for insurance. They can barely negotiate the McDonalds drive through.

It would cost a fortune just in the negotiating before the healthcare

He’s never had insurance. He’s got no clue what he’s talking about.

We’re already out here working three jobs bro. Why don’t YOU negotiate with providers? Then provide payment directly to the providers? Why hasn’t anyone thought of this brilliant idea???

Who might be selling this insurance that cost less, is better?

Let me guess, vouchers to buy insurance in a completely unregulated marketplace.

Ummm. Many Americans do this already, minus the negotiation. We shop around and it, the options suck. Not that you’d know bc you probably haven’t shopped for anything in 50 odd years.

Shift risk & cost onto individuals while maintaining low taxes & regulation for corporations & wealthy donors. It’s essentially market-driven healthcare without strong consumer protections, leading to underinsurance, medical bankruptcies & widening inequality, which the ACA was designed to prevent.

I look forward to the frisson of entrepreneurship when I negotiate for a quasi useless health insurance plan with my $2000 Trump account.

Right…. Going to negotiate with the insurance company. Wonder how that will go. I hate to end up disappointed yet again, but I can’t imagine that even MAGA thinks this is a good idea.

Right?

yep, I recommend bringing two of your hardest henchmen

Idiot. Negotiate insurance? Hahhahaa

He doesn’t even have concepts of a plan.

Sounds like he's just gonna sign everyone up for medicare for all!

Exactly.

Absolute truth 💥💥💥💥

yup . for years (and probably still now), the people hating 'bamacare' reported loving the ACA

Jesus Christ. Spoken like an asshole who has never had to worry about healthcare costs.

A bass interviewing a goldfish? This has to be AI.

Can I negotiate my homeowners insurance too? 😜

Yeah, we can negotiate with the health insurance companies just like we do with car insurance, life insurance, flood insurance……. Right!

Fuckwit

For profit healthcare is a crime against humanity And, so isTrump

What does this even mean

HEY this has to be a great plan. Rick Scott (FL) is writing up the bill right now. Brilliant

The headlines on the video were such a lie!

Any proposal that he has will always always benefit the industry, not the people.

So insurance companies who already don’t want to talk to you are going to speak with millions of people to negotiate the price of their insurance?

Bacon wrapped cocktail Weisner

Pig in a blanket

Absolutely!

There is no incentive for them to give adequate coverage to individuals. That is why “risk pools” exist.

So his answer is the same as with everything else: "make a good deal", like the normie can "negotiate" for anything against corporations. This man doesn't know how the world works for normal people.

Same bs he was pushing 10 years ago….poor quality, unaffordable healthcare for most Americans.

“Trump Care”. Remember this grifter selling snake oil: Remember Trump University? Trump Atlantic City Casinos? Trump Sneakers? Trump Wine? Trump Bibles? All very similar to Trump’ Dream of flying a fighter jet spewing feces over all below.

Isn't this just the voucher program idea all over again?

Insane bullshit.

This fucking idiot…

Individuals negotiating their own rate from insurers. Millions of unique premiums. Yeah that’s a real thing that happens.

That not only sounds like fun but something everyone has tons of free time to pursue.

I’m an entrepreneur. I started my own insurance business. No I don’t sell insurance, I just negotiate with insurance companies for my own health insurance. No I haven’t made any money yet but I’m so happy.

Because everyone wants to go out and negotiate their own insurance. Next, he'll have a copyright infringing gecko on there telling us we can do it "in 15 minutes or less". 🙄

One of the good things about a bunch of Democratic cowards caving is it pushes us ever closer to socialized medicine like most of the world. I suspect Republicans/Insurance CEOs are going to look at this as a Pyhrric Victory and REALLY wish they hadn't liked the ACA.

How to spawn a generation of Luigis

That’s basically what happens under the ACA already. The money just goes directly to the insurers He’s so ignorant he has no idea what he speaks of about anything. Dumb. Dunce.

I, of course, am a brilliant negotiator. By the time I am done with them United Healthcare will be begging to pay me 🤣
