Trump heralds GOP's Obamacare alternative as Rand Paul reveals it will focus on low-cost policies

President-elect Donald Trump has revealed the GOP’s plan to repeal and replace Obamacare will provide ‘insurance for everybody.’

Trump said the nearly-finished bill would include ‘lower numbers’ and ‘much lower deductibles’ but declined to reveal any specific details on Sunday, the Washington Post reports.

His comments come just days Republicans announced that they had taken the first steps in repealing the Affordable Care Act, which caused contention and concerns on whether repealing it would leave more than 11 million Americans uninsured.

Trump did not give specific details about the new bill, but said he plans to go after pharmaceutical companies and insist they negotiate directly with the government on Medicare and Medicaid health plans on lower costs. ‘We’re going to have insurance for everybody,’ he said.

‘There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it.

‘That’s not going to happen with us.’ Read more

What's the hold up?

Trump added that the bill is 'down to its final strokes' and he is waiting for his nominee for secretary of health and human services, Republican Tom Price, to be confirmed.

Congress is expected to address the issue in the upcoming weeks.

My first comment wasn't clear. I and millions would like to know the specifics of the alternatives that will be offered and how they'll be improvements.

Its Price's duty to explain the nitty-gritty should he be confirmed.

Why Health Insurers Worry About Trump's HHS Pick, Tom Price - Forbes 01/04/2017

Now that Dr. Tom Price, a Republican congressman, has been picked by Donald Trump to be the next U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, insurers fear an assault on narrow networks, reimbursement tied to outcomes and related value-based care models .

“Dr. Price understands that there is a critical need to reduce the administrative burden that has been placed on today’s physician–so they can focus on patient care–and he knows that we need to reduce the amount of control the federal government and big health insurance companies have on our healthcare system,” Dr. Steven Walsh, president of the Medical Association of Georgia, said in endorsing Price as HHS Secretary.

Like many doctor lobbies, Price wants the doctor in control and getting paid from insurers with fewer hurdles or questions asked .

Price and the Georgia doctors have been aggressively opposed to narrow networks. Insurers say they help them better manage quality by allowing good doctors in their health plans' preferred lists while keeping poorly performing providers out. But doctors say narrow networks are merely a way to control costs.

Price has been active in the Medical Association of Georgia, which has a lot of controversial stances insurers say would lead to higher costs.

Take legislation to allow doctors to collectively bargain with health insurance companies and balance billing, which Price has favored. Balance billing allows doctors to bill for what is beyond the insurer's or Medicare's reimbursement rate. Insurers see balance billing as "extra billing" akin to getting paid twice for the same work. Recommended by Forbes

America's Health Insurance Plans, which represents health plans, has analyses documenting patterns "of average billed charges submitted by out-of-network providers that far exceeded Medicare reimbursement for the same service performed in the same geographic area." The Forbes eBook On Obamacare Inside Obamacare: The Fix For America’s Ailing Health Care System explores the ways the Affordable Care Act will impact your health care.

Independent doctors who are considered self-employed are barred from collective bargaining, but Price and colleagues have supported this a long time, according to Medical Association of Georgia policies. Balance billing and collective bargaining have also been issues favored by delegates to the American Medical Association over the years. Price has been a delegate to the American Medical Association's House of Delegates from the Medical Association of Georgia since 1995, the AMA said.

Though the collective bargaining issue has been dead in Congress for a long time, some observers think Price could help resurrect it given his fellow Republicans control both Congress and the White House.

Balance billing allows doctors to bill for what is beyond the insurer's or Medicare's reimbursement rate. Insurers see balance billing as "extra billing" akin to getting paid twice for the same work.

Balance billing allows the doctors to bill the patient above the "usual & customary charges", i.e., what the insurance company is willing to pay for a procedure, or treatment. The consumer will get taken to the cleaners if this goes through as it is not at all uncommon for doctors to charge three, four, five times, or more, the UCC rate.
