I listened to Trump and I’ve read Trump.

Nothing incoherent at all.

There are 2 groups: (1) those who can care for themselves, and (2) those who can’t care for themselves.

The first group has private insurance purchased across state lines and health savings plans are an available vehicle for them to use.

The second group, those who cannot care for themselves, has the government provided health care.

Nothing hard to understand about that at all.

What people DON’T want to admit is that we and the government used to pay for those indigent walk-ins to doctor’s offices and hospitals anyway. We paid through increased premiums, hidden costs on bills, deductions from taxes owed to the government by both businesses and individuals who had been zinged by the increased costs of indigents getting help through good Samaritan and other laws.

Bringing it out in the open, Trump says we should just man up and pay it, quit trying to hide it in higher bills, and admit we won’t let people die in the streets.

I support it.

Excellent, except that we don’t let people die in the streets and we already have gov’t healthcare for poor people.

If Trump is so “coherent” to you, explain what his plan is. How many people get on Trumpcare, what is the income level, etc.

The problem with that is the same with all socialist ideas, once you take care of group 2 with the government, there is no incentive for people to work hard to be in group 1.

This is why all socialist countries eventually go bankrupt, more and more people in group 2 and fewer and fewer people in group 1.

I can’t believe I have to explain this to someone on FR.

Regarding your post #5. The problem is Trumps didn’t say it. You did. His rambling was gibberish. No one can be sure what he means. Maybe he doesn’t even know.

Bingo! You win the prize!

As one who spent 25 years providing emergency medical care in the community... you have got it. The ones who can't care for themselves get it paid for by the rest of us regardless. Obamacare didn't change a thing other than costing billions and billions of dollars wasted in needless bureaucracy. No one is refused emergency medical treatment in this country, this was true before Obamacare and is now true after Obamacare. One of our “customers”, an alcoholic drug abuser ran up over $2,000,000 in ambulance and medical bills over a ten year period. Who do you think paid for this... the rest of us... the losses just get passed along to the paying customers. Getting the government involved just ads more expense and red tape.

One thing Obamacare has accomplished is making the entitled class feel more entitled. They are now clogging the emergency rooms and doctors offices across the country more than ever before. Are they healthier... NO, happier... NO, they are just emboldened and more nasty now and more demanding. I know a lot of doctors and nurses including my own who say hey are fed up and either going to retire, quit, or go into another field. Thank you Obamacare.

Ronald Reagan made it law that emergency rooms had to accept all without insurance. Trump’s system would be cheaper.
