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.
NBCās Kristen Welker pressed DeSantis, the Florida governor, on former President Trumpās vow to repeal and replace ObamaCare ā a promise that he failed to keep during his time in the White House.
āHereās what I will do. What I think theyāre 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 weāre going to look at the big institutions that are causing prices to be high: Big Pharma, big insurance, and big government,ā he said on āMeet the Pressā on Sunday.
However, he offered scant details for his proposal when asked what āsupersedeā meant. He said that his plan will have coverage that is ādifferent and betterā at the ālowest possible price.ā
ādifferent and betterā and ālowest possible priceā can only mean one thing: single-payer, tax-funded āmedicare for allā.
thatās what he means, right?
Youāre right, but even if that was what he was promising, he would still be lying.
FTA:
āLook, nobody knows how much anything costs. Well, of course itās not going to lower prices. Thereās third-party payers.ā
So if heās eliminating 3rd party payersā¦ it makes it SOUND like heās backing single-payer, but I bet heās just pushing it all onto the patient.
if the patient is the only one paying, itās still āsingle payerā
Yup, yup!
Well, if thereās only one patient. Do we have confirmation he plans to cover anyone but himself?
