While many Never Trumpers — still upset that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush or their fallback, Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), didn’t win the GOP nomination — argue that a Trump presidency might be bad for the country, they know that a Clinton presidency will be disastrous for virtually every principle they claim to hold dear. The reality is that not only is the balance of power on the Supreme Court, and the transformation of the entire federal judiciary at stake in this election, but the foundation of the nation’s healthcare system also hangs in the balance.
Leading Never Trump magazine National Review has published a number of articles over the past year chronicling the demise of ObamaCare. One recent opinion piece, “On Obamacare, the President Ignores Unpleasant Realities,” opines about the public option that “This is the logical next step for those who would like to see all Americans enrolled in a government-run insurance plan.”
And that is exactly what the nation will get if Clinton is elected.
While there are no guarantees about what a Trump administration might support, it is clear that the personnel surrounding a President Trump will be firmly supportive of opening up insurance markets and rebuilding a market-based system around the concept of competition with an emphasis on restoring the patient-doctor relationship rather than the current patient-insurer-government-doctor relationship.
