Donald Trump recently released a healthcare reform plan. If only he had spent as much time crafting it as he does his hair.
The GOP frontrunner is right that Obamacare has failed to fix what ails America’s healthcare system. As Trump put it, the Affordable Care Act has “tragically but predictably resulted in runaway costs, websites that don’t work, greater rationing of care, higher premiums, less competition and fewer choices.” He famously said that he wants to “repeal and replace with something terrific.”
But “terrific” his plan is not.
Take, for instance, his proposal to legalize the importation of “safe and dependable [prescription] drugs from overseas.”
Importing cheaper drugs from other countries may seem like a great way to reduce the cost of medicine for Americans. But there are important reasons why it’s currently prohibited.
