What Trump actually said.
"If somebody has no money and they're lying in the middle of the street and they're dying, I'm going to take care of that person," Trump said.
Stop it. Trump said he supported a single payer system, paid for by the US taxpayer. Here is Trump’s EXACT statement, word-for-word:
The fact Trump wants a healthcare “solution” more socialist than Obama is not up for dispute. It’s a fact.
What Trump actually said,
“If somebody has no money and they’re lying in the middle of the street and they’re dying, I’m going to take care of that person,” Trump said.
God bless him if he actually decides to start helping people besides political props. But read the article; he said a lot more than that.
What Trump actually said,
“If somebody has no money and they’re lying in the middle of the street and they’re dying, I’m going to take care of that person,” Trump said.
FACT: In all 50 states, a hospital or ambulance company can lose its license for failing to treat such a person, regardless of ability to pay.
FACT: As the article states, “Had Trump spent more time studying the government he seeks to run instead of pandering for the endorsements of Bob Dole and his less charismatic mini-me, Terry Branstad, The Donald would understand that we already spend hundreds of billions on Medicaid, S-Chip, and an array of state programs for those who would “die on the sidewalks” because they have no money. Medicaid alone will cost us $350 billion this year. The “dying on the sidewalk” Alinsky argument is a non-sequitur. The real question is what happens with the rest of us. Either we are all forced into single-payer, which has been Trump’s long-standing position.
Please, then, explain to Marie and others even on this site, who seem convinced that Trump WILL provide them with liberal health-care solutions.

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.
