   It is sooooo good to see Trump sitting in the White House, instead of you know whom?

   Replacement for Obamacare in Trump’s view, quoting from WND

   [Trump outlined five principles that must guide Congress as it works to create a better health-care system for Americans.] Since when US Government has to be involved in health care? Since Romney. It has well progressed with 8 years of Obama Administration

   1. Ensure that Americans with pre-existing conditions have access to coverage, and that there is a stable transition for Americans currently enrolled in the health-care exchanges. [This looks quite reasonable.]

   2. Help Americans purchase their own coverage, through the use of tax credits and expanded Health Savings Accounts, but, he (Trump) said, “it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the government.” [What about those who do not want a health insurance plan? It was major idea of the Founders that the Government must not establish laws that force the population to buy any product or service.]

   3. Give state governors the resources and flexibility they need with Medicaid to make sure no one is left out. [Does this mean that everyone must buy health insurance? This would not be a free market in health care services.]

   4.Implement legal reforms that protect patients and doctors from unnecessary costs that drive up the price of insurance – and work to bring down the artificially high price of drugs and bring them down immediately. [Why is it necessary to impose health insurance on everybody? The problem with the Trump plan is that it is framed in terms of health insurance plan as the chief concept. How much health insurance companies p[aid president Trump for framing health care in terms of only health insurance plans:)?]

   5. Give Americans the freedom to purchase health insurance across state lines, creating a competitive national marketplace that will bring costs down and provide better care. [Fine, as long as people who do not want health insurance have the freedom to buy health services directly from health providers and of course across the state lines too. Insurance companies must not monopolize management of health services.]

   Item 1. in Alexander Grin comment should include for the people with pre-existing conditions to bypass health insurance and buy the needed health services directly from health care professionals. Otherwise the the costs for these people may easily skyrocket as the insurance companies have know knowledge as well as possibly having no interest and no qualifications and no ability to evaluate all options available for these pre-existing conditions
