What are the conservative "must-haves" in the "expected" Trumpcare plan? Must it insure everyone? Must it lower the tax burden on the wealthy? Must it actually lower costs? Must it force consumer involvement in their choices? (I suspect that's the point of HSAs and such).
What mechanisms will lower costs and give better coverage to everyone (T-rump's stated objectives)?

"According to Quinnipiac, only 17 percent of Americans approve of the bill — and only 6 percent of the country supports it strongly. (Congress is approved of by 21 percent of the country.) By contrast, well over half of Americans disapprove of it, 43 percent of them strongly. In other words, more than twice as many people have strongly negative views of the bill than have any positive feelings for it."
