Ahead of the Republican debate Donald Trump releases his plan to replace the ACA.

In Wednesday, Donald Trump, (click here) front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, released details for his plan to reform healthcare should he be elected president in November.
Trump issued a familiar Republican call to repeal the Affordable Care Act – Obamacare – and also said individuals should be allowed to deduct all of their insurance premiums from the income tax they owe.
Another part of the plan would require “price transparency” from all healthcare providers – a move that would allow individuals to shop around for competitive prices for medical treatment.
The plan also addresses prescription drug prices,  calling on Congress to give consumers access to drugs  sold in other countries....

This is a very brave move by Donald Trump. The last time he set a policy into the public's hands he was viciously attacked on its merits. It would seem today, he has decided to be viciously attacked again at the debate although the public has been requesting his plan. The Republican establishment doesn't have a plan, but, they do now and they will mimic it with different vocabulary to PRETEND it is not Donald Trump's plan.

I am quite sure Donald Trump is up to the challenge for more vicious attacks this evening. After all the only people in the audience are those that will boo him and give standing ovations to others. I wonder why? They are probably worried peace might set in and there will be no more war at the very least. Funny, I don't call peace initiatives incompetency; rather the other way around.
