1. Are you seriously proposing that we go back to the day where men and women are charged different rates? Talk about a political non-starter. I doubt a single Republican female Congressman or Senator would vote for that, nor would some of the moderate Republican men. Just imagine the tweets: "Republican health plan: raise rates on women to give men a break!! #WaronWomen"
Yes, I am serious. Men pay more for car insurance than women, but I don't see any politicians crying out calling it an injustice. Insurance is discriminatory by nature and by righting one wrong, you just create another.

Yet no one complains about the automotive mandate. Just saying.

I imagine it'll be giving huge tax breaks to insurance companies to offer coverage to people, with no price controls or regulations on how much they can charge.

So basically it is Trump being resigned to the fact that without the ACA, the health insurance industry will go the way of the mortgage and auto industry and people will need to be bailed out anyways. However, maybe he can promise more coverage by totally deregulating the insurance industry and the medical loan industry. Bail out a bubble and create a bubble in one fell swoop! We will never have it so good! It will be orgasmic!
