the president propose to send money directly to citizens so they may purchase their own healthcare instead of funding insurance
companies thru the present obamacare system.
not a good idea. if you send money to the lower classes ( those needing obamacare funded tax paper health care ) they will just spend it on other things.
they will go to the emergency rooms for ordinary health care issues and state that they have no money to pay.
same issues with govrenment issued food stamps. "everyone is going hungry", yet why do they have such fine tennis shoes and LCD tv's at home.
it is simple human fraility. most people spend every dime and save almost nothing. most people spend on things they want and not on things they need.
no, giving money to the obamacare welfare class will not help them because they are unable to help themselves..
the marxists are correct on this problem with the lower classes. they must be led like sheep to find "a ( red maxist utopian"😉 better life.

@the-grifter saidTrump‘s proposal has a certain appeal to radical individualists such as averageJoe who think that anyone who pays more into the system than he gets out of it is stupid, because he’s supporting and encouraging freeloaders who take out more than they pay in. Trump's proposal appears to give each individual maximum freedom of choice to get whatever services he wants, provided he can pay for them. It would, however, in fact, lead to the exaggeration of the present two-tier system, whereby poor people don’t get the services they need, and rich people get all sorts of services they don’t need but are merely nice-to-have or cosmetic.

The alternative to this radical individualism is exemplified by most of the countries in central and northern Europe, which all have national healthcare systems. Three things stand out about these Scandinavian, Germanic, and British models: the first is that services are free of charge (or very nearly so) at the point of consumption. The second is that participation is non-optional, and is financed by tax which is taken out of peoples' earnings automatically. And the third feature is that the medical industry is very heavily regulated by the federal government; doctors, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies cannot simply charge whatever the market will bear.
All of these three features which the northern and central European countries' healthcare systems have in common are based on a single principle, which people such as averageJoe will either never understand or never accept if they do understand it. The principal is that shared costs, shared risks, and shared benefits are on average over the long run for the entire society better than an individualistic pay-as-you-go system, for certain services, and healthcare is one of them (there are others, such as universal education and roads and bridges). It’s based on the principle that for the entire society on average as a whole over the long run, the man-hours lost to people having untreated diseases and untreated injuries because they can’t afford to pay for them is higher than the cost of providing those people with the treatment they need when needed free at the point of consumption.
"But what about illegal immigrants?" Somebody here is bound to object. "We can’t possibly finance illegal immigrants' breast transplants or sex-change operations." That’s bollocks. The immigration issue is separate and has nothing to do with the medical industry. Ambulance crews, arriving at the scene of an automobile crash, should not be asking people "are you a legal resident?" They should be asking people "where does it hurt?" I can assure you, no one sneaks into Switzerland from Tanzania or Syria on a Sunday night and gets free breast implants and a free sex-change operation on Monday.
