Trump voters don’t think ‘smart businessman’ like Trump will really enact GOP’s health care plans

It seems that some people who voted for Donald Trump don’t like the health care plans that Trump’s party has actually proposed — but they also don’t believe the GOP will really enact them.

The New York Times reports that the Kaiser Foundation recently organized several focus groups with Rust Belt Trump voters who were either covered by Medicaid, or who got their insurance policies through Obamacare exchanges.

What they found was that the people who were on Medicaid seemed happier with their coverage than people who got their coverage through the insurance exchanges — and some who used the exchanges wish that they could simply have the option to use Medicaid because it’s a much simpler plan.

Where things get really interesting, however, is when participants were asked to comment on some of President-elect Trump and the Republican Party’s potential Obamacare replacement plans. In particular, many were unhappy with the idea of ditching insurance to move to health savings accounts, which they said were not at all comparable to the coverage they’re getting now.

1. They thought he would take "others" health care insurance away, not theirs.

Too bad, Deplorables.
