No, the candidate who stands with Zero is Trump.
It was through the COBRA program that they wanted to charge my 18 year old son $3000 a MONTH! (PLUS co-pays and deductibles that were insane.)
So, no. He couldn’t be *denied*, but dammit, they denied him by charging more than he could ever EARN as an 18 year old high school graduate.
He actually gave UP on going to college in a desperate bid to make enough money to afford the medications and treatments that he needed to LIVE hour-by-hour.
THAT was the conservative solution? That failed us horribly!
Think about it! That was the alternative for those who were denied any insurance? To charge the young and the very poor outrageous rates that 75% of American could never be able to afford?
THINK.
There is NO conservative solution to the chronically or previously ill. NONE.
$3,000 a month sucks, but COBRA is not HIPAA. It was a first step. And in 1986, it was a good first step. Since then, the costs have exploded. More needs to be done. Socialized medicine means that there are no limits on cost growth, no competition.
Yawn..................................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Please, then, explain to Marie and others even on this site, who seem convinced that Trump WILL provide them with liberal health-care solutions.
Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, “No, no, the lower 25 percent that can’t afford private. But–â€
Scott Pelley: Universal health care.
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably–
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: —the government’s gonna pay for it.
WAIT FOR IT... WAIT FOR IT....
Donald Trump: — But we’re going to save so much money on the other side.
THERE HE GOES!!! FULL BLOWN OBAMA CRAP!!!
Because we all know that government mandates and socialism reduce costs, right ?!!!!
I continue saying prayers he (Cruz) can be our next POTUS.
Trump:
We are going to work with our hospitals. We are going to work with our doctors. We've got to do something. You can't have a small percentage of our economy, because they're down and out, have absolutely no protection so they end up dying from, you know, what you could have a simple procedure or even a pill. You can'tt do that. We'll work something out. That doesn't mean single payer. And I mean, maybe hes got no heart. And if this means I lose an election, that's fine, because, frankly, we have to take care of the people in our country. We can't let them die on the sidewalks of New York or the sidewalks of Iowa or anywhere else"
This is the same sort of sleazy lying by omission, misrepresentation and innuendo that the Leftist media has used against Conservatives for decades. When did "Conservatives" decide adopting the Leftist PR tactics was going to work for them?
Truth is true even if you live in denial of it.
Not only did I not take Trump out of context, I included that entire context (and so did Horowitz). The context argued for his socialist plan, but in no way contradicted or explained away his call for socialized, mandatory healthcare insurance. In fact, he didn’t say anything Obama didn’t say.
I’ve listened to many of Trump’s rallies and interviews, read his 2011 book, and read his positions on his website.
Trump hating “Conservatives” always twist, distort and even make up out of whole cloth quotes from him. “Quotes”. Out of context is SOP.
All these conservatives that hate Trump can choke on their bile not soon enough for me.
