Trumpcare

I am hearing promises that Trump will keep the preexisting conditions mandate of Obamacare.

It is this mandate that is the biggest problem with Obamacare. This mandate was to be kept in check with the insurance tax to force people to buy insurance.

If the preexisting condition mandate is kept as law but its support mechanism is dropped then this will only accelerate the destruction of health insurance as we know it.

The reason for this is that you cannot guarantee insurance to people that are costly to insure without raising the price of insurance. A higher cost on insurance lowers the number of healthy uncostly people that will take insurance. It's a feedback loop that ends in the destruction of health insurance as it's currently known.

I believe this is planned by Trump and or his advisors. It's to usher in catastrophic health insurance and health savings plans. I'm not sure I'm prepared for such a plan, but I'm not sure it would be a bad thing.
