Brett Meiselas @bmeiselas.bsky.social · Nov 8 Oh, we finally found Trump’s healthcare plan! It’s: kick everyone off their insurance, send them a couple thousand dollars, and wish them luck with their medical bills. Wouldn’t universal healthcare be far easier if you truly don’t like the “big, bad” insurance companies?

Buying bulk is always cheaper! Few could ever afoard to buy health insurance on their own. Time to join the rest of the developed world, single payer.
Let's see if he comes around to it. With him you never know anything for certain until it happens.
So he doesn't even know how insurance works, we shouldn't be surprised and yet we are.
He has no idea how this works: "Purchase" where (Obamacare) and from whom (the insurance companies) and how much will he give? The increases are thousands for each person!
Just when you think your countries health options were bad they just get worse
Universal healthcare would save us billions every year. But then insurance companies and their CEO’s wouldn’t make exorbitant profits.
Does "concepts of a plan" mean you see the cause of a problem, but all you can think to do is a simple-minded stunt that will not address the complex issue and that you refuse to consider the plans of those more gifted and industrious than you if solving the issue means giving credit to others
Further evidence of Trump’s ignorance and solutions to everything. Either throw money at it or withhold money. Problem solved. Too indifferent and lazy to think about solutions.
Their end goal is to get rid of out-of-pocket maximums which became law under the Affordable Care Act. This law made it harder to bankrupt Americans because of medical bills.
He truly doesn't have a clue of an actual working man/woman salary.
Single payer is the only way to eliminate the health insurance industry unless he's going to make health insurance illegal
So the government pays me to buy insurance from the big, bad insurance companies at a greater price.
Yes this is all about how much Trump hates Obama. What would make more sense is show this statement from Trump to every American, anybody who believes it, we should deport and then we will truly make America great again. Although what nation would want so many stupid people at one time?
The people pulling his puppet strings are giving him a line of bullshit. I don’t honestly think he’s smart enough to lie about this. I think he honestly thinks the so it works.
Too many people in Congress are beholden to Big Insurance and Big Pharma to listen to Diaper Don on this one.
The sad part is that his supporters would really think they won something. Turn around, get seriously ill/hurt and end up homeless.
He is just so stupid as are most GOP
Here is a thought: let the people decide which health-care system works best.. keep the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and also allow Republicans to offer their alternative plan. For two years Americans choose. Reopen the government now. Time for real choice and not more gridlock.
Where does he think this magical better insurance can be found?
One sick, Deminted out of touch with reality Mfer!!!!!
He wants to buy us off for as cheap as he can..... pocket the rest. Americans be damned.
He’s going to abolish the ACA, announce a new healthcare plan which he will name Trumpcare and it will be exactly the same thing we have now.
Baby steps towards socialism. So glad HE came up with this idea!
Meanwhile... "The administration is rapidly gutting a 2022 law intended to ensure that a sliver of the country’s most profitable corporations pay at least some federal income tax." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...
Sharing from Canada it's completely possible, normal, & wonderful to have universal healthcare! Broken arm? Child w/ high fever? Asthma attack? Car accident? Heart transplant? You will receive excellent care and NO bill from your doc or hospital. Perfect system? No. Awesome? YES. 🇨🇦 Do it! ♥️
Sounds like the “DOGE checks” 😆😆😆😆😆😆😬😳
So, since my insurance is projected to cost $48,000, what size check will I receive? What is the tax rate they intend to charge on that?
Finally the Republican healthcare fever dream.
He really has no clue about how anything really works. But what continues to amaze me is that so many people fall for such stupidity.
He’s fucking insane people. We have to get rid of him. This is nuts and if you are looking at what he’s saying here and thinking he has a point, you are the kind of stupid mark all conmen and grifters love! He’s stupid as fuck and if you’re still in his camp, so are you.
Obamacare aka Affordable Care Act [ACA] WAS as close to universal care for ALL. It is sad that DJT is completely against ALL PEOPLE NOT IN HIS CLASS [his opinion]. That means millionaire or billionaire status!!! SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!!! on DJT. He is against: women; children; veterans; non-white.
The only good word for this is: PATHETIC Just goes to prove he knows nothing. Give a few thousand to the people to pay monthly premiums. RIGHT!!!! They need funding continually to continue paying premiums. WASTE!! The low-income and poor will end up worse off WITH NO INSURANCE AT ALL!!!! SAD
Somewhere, a burning dumpster is in need of more fuel.
A Trump admin official said that "it's OK because they can still buy private health insurance." Sure... on $7.25/hr? Yeah, OK. Maybe we should just refuse to show up to be their security guards, etc. and let this be a Project Mayhem moment.
Insurance companies are already raising rates for those not on ACA! Trump doesn’t understand the insurance business at all. Nor does he care. Infuriating 🤬
MAGA did not win him the Popular vote so its punish MAGA through destroying local hospitals for good.....
They would find a way to cut that too, thereby accomplishing their approach of removing ANY kind of assistance.
What happens to the insurance industry when people drop their insurance to buy food and pay for housing instead?
Eliminate “pre-existing Conditions“ WITH Universal Healthcare.
Step 1. Take from the insurance providers Step 2. Give to the people (After pocketing some for yourself, of course... Finders fee and all) Step 3. People give it back to insurance providers anyways (?) Am I getting this right?
100% national health care would be a much better idea. Bernie has been asking for it forever. Yes!
This ass has absolutely no connection to reality. I have lupus, RA, and just went through breast cancer treatment. A couple thousand would be gone in a month.
He is unfathomably stupid. He doesn't know how anything works especially healthcare
Unrelated, YOU'RE STILL A NAZI PEDOPHILE.
@sanders.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov Call it MAGA care and turn MAGA from the inside out: agree w/ Trump to send everyone a check and abolish insurers but impose tax penalty if people who get the check don’t sign up for single payer system
This guy is the worse! 😡
universal healthcare evaporates the complexity, the places and instruments corruption needs to hide. A uniform plan for ALL is simpler to manage corruption easier to expose. impossible for industry to favor politicians and the elite with special coverage over average citizens
Turns out all insurance is skyrocketing. My car insurance doubled for the next six months.
Does this fool not realize why ACA had to be established and why the subsidies are necessary?? Because private health insurance is expensive! Just take all the subsidies and offer universal care!!
It’s truly amazing how you morons refuse to accept free, universal healthcare.
So how much are you sending. Equality 1:1 or as my pts have spent at least $30,000 a month or me its about$150.00 a month. Or am I only getting $150.00 a month. NO!
Is this the concepts of a plan?
And where are people to find this "much better healthcare"?
Would he please just shut up and go take a long nap
You're an idiot.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
LOVE YOU GUYS! That’s Trump’s entire schtick, right? Cause a disaster, sweep in like he’s a hero, throw even MORE tax dollars on an ineffective patch, whilst still ranting about how everything would be much better if they would just get rid of stupid rules that prevent him from doing stuff.
Trump doesn’t send these texts. He cannot stay awake long enough. We’ve seen him. (Unfortunately)
He's gonna announce Trump Insurance Company next.
🧨 Five Republican Actions Undermining the ACA 1. Repeal of the Individual Mandate (2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) 2. Expansion of Short-Term Health Plans 3. Cuts to Outreach and Enrollment Funding 4. Support for Lawsuits Challenging the ACA’s Constitutionality 5. Attempts to Block Medicaid Expansion
He is a failure
And it’s interesting that Oscar Health was an option from my broker this year. Never been in his proposals to me before. Heard here that the Kushners are heavily invested.
And what would we buy? The options would still be the same.
I am trying to wrap my brain around this. So take money from the insurance companies to send to Americans so that they purchase insurance from the companies. How does this make sense?
what an idiot
Wait, take the money that Democrats want to spend on Health Insurance Premiums and give it to people to spend on Health Insurance Premiums?
Isn't this about the similar as what he did in his last term after telling everyone to take bleach for the COVID he said would be disappear in a matter of days? He seems to think all his screw ups can be erased by handing out cash like he did when slpt with a pornstar.
Exactly. So an individual american will have no bargaining leverage, insurance companies will jack up rates, deny claims at will, and the billionaires will get richer while the poor get sicker.
DON'T FALL FOR IT 🇺🇸❗
Infrastructure week is gonna blow
He's so close but doesn't realize it yet.
Must not be getting his kickbacks peoplesaction.org/unitedhealth...
This is his healthcare plan? Unrelated, release the Epstein files. Impeach the criminal. #3rdTimeLucky
If you send money to people to let them buy their own insurance, who are they supposed to buy it from? If good insurance companies out there wouldn't they be affordable? Trump should realize the subsidies the Dems want are the same thing as sending people money. If he weren't an idiot.
Early in his political career Trump did once ask why we couldn't just have Medicare cover anyone. After all, it is such an obvious solution that even an idiot like Trump could see it. Unfortunately Republicans quickly shut him down.
Obviously the big bad insurance companies haven’t kicked in for the big ugly ballroom. Yet. Then he will change his tune. So predictable.
You actually don't want a single federally run option because right now it would be under the exclusing control of Trump, RFKjr and Little Mikey Johnson. But they should ban for-profit companies from the ACA and offer several tiers of public options to compete with multiple nonprofit offerings.
for Commodus Trumptwiticus
Please, Dear Leader, tell us of your vast experience buying beautiful health insurance and efficiently navigating our amazing capitalistic healthcare system.
You’re interpreting it the same way I do. Others are saying they send you money that you buy insurance with.
How about insurance companies stop disputing claims, stop over charging and pay our claims.
Single Payer!
Norway looking real good to me.
The really bad insurance companies fund trump! So when there are no more people left to insure then what? Oh of course. Liberty Mutual tripled my rates for my cabin to offset their enormous donation to trump!
How about massive tax cuts for poor, working class, and middle class Americans, with tax credits for ALL medical costs for the poor and full deductions for ALL medical costs for the working and middle class, and no medical tax credits or deductions for the wealthy?
This is their plan? 👇🏽

He clearly doesn't get how it works.
