Trumpcare

What if the GOP is able to repeal and replace the ACA with a conservative plan that offers coverage while reducing costs?

• A successful conservative plan might be modeled on Singapore, which combines catastrophic coverage, HSAs, and pricing competition to deliver universal coverage cheaply.
• Many traditional GOP supporters, including doctors, hospitals, and pharma, would strongly resist this kind of change as it might decrease their pricing power.
• Major reform will require 60 votes in the Senate, and it appears difficult to find a reform that will get buy-in from both parties.
