A Bowling Green (Ky.) man who asked to be identified as “Harvey”
expressed relief at President-Elect Trump’s announcement that under his health insurance
plan everyone would be covered. “Oh that
Donald, he took it down to the wire, but I’d knew he would come through.” Harvey explained that he currently depends on
an ACA-subsidized plan to cover the care and medication for his Hepatitis
C. “Thank God, Trump is getting rid of that
Obamacare. Man, I felt like a slave. All those forms Cindy [Harvey’s wife] had to
fill out, and the premiums, just shoot me.”
Harvey was unimpressed to learn that the cost of his medication alone
cost over $100K. Asked how much his
premiums were, Harvey pled ignorance. “Cindy
writes all the checks. She’s the quiet
type, so she doesn’t complain too much, but I can tell they’re steep.” Harvey was equally hard pressed to explain what
makes him think the Trump plan will provide the same level of care at a lower
price. “You media types just don’t get
it. Donald Trump is a friend of the
working man. If he says health insurance
for everyone, that means everyone will be able to afford it.”
