Hard Starboard Radio: The Blessed Collapse Of TrumpCare

April 01, 2017

Donald Trump pushed the passage of a health care bill he didn’t understand: TrumpCare, which rejected the free market, tinkered around the edges of the problem, and assumed that government central planning is the answer. This bill treated insurance as the primary way to get health care, substituted lawmakers’ judgments for that of the market as to how to price policies, and sustained an unsustainable path of central planning.  Basically, the First Five Year Health Care Plan was determined a failure, so Trump tried to give us a Second Five Year Health Care Plan.  And, praise the LORD, it went down in Hindenbergian flames....for now.
