You totally misinterpreted what I said, and I made no claims that government runs anything well. even the one thing that they are Constitutionally required to fund, the military, is losing ground due to political correctness.

In fact what I said was, the devil is in the details. If government is not controlling but merely paying for healthcare for some citizens, which it did even before Obamacare, then it might actually be a benefit.

For example, there used to be an option where you could get catastrophic coverage, and paid you own way up until you had need to rely on the catastrophic insurance.

If you were able to tailor your coverage to preclude certain types of coverage you know you will never need, such as pregnancy care, then your premiums would be reduced.

Instead of having a government plan where one size fits all, they are private plans without restrictions as to what your coverage must include., then your premiums would go down

Besides you do realize that you are, and have been, paying for people without coverage, right? You get charged more through your insurance to offset losses incurred by hospitals who have to treat everyone that walks through the door.

Lastly I said I do not think that Trump would ignore the majority of the population, like the majority of our elected officials now do, if there was a large outcry coming from the citizens.

We don’t pay more for insurance to pay for uninsured. We pay for it through taxes or rather we borrow for it.

We need to bring costs down by cutting g out the kidleman, the insurance companies themselves.
