Trump Is No Friend of Free Market Health Care
American Spectator ^ | 8/10/2015 | David Catron

Posted on 08/10/2015 4:43:51 AM PDT by rootin tootin

Most of Donald Trump’s public statements include the rote declaration that Obamacare is a disaster. This is true, of course, but it doesn’t tell us anything new. It’s only when he starts elaborating on his objections that one gets a sense of what he believes, and he doesn’t talk like a friend of the free market. During last week’s Republican debate, for example, he was asked about his past praise of single-payer health care and replied, “As far as single-payer, it works in Canada, works incredibly well in Scotland.” This answer was both antithetical to free-market thinking and profoundly ignorant.

I have no idea how you decipher that from anything I’ve said.

The fact is ... The only way to save the country is to win the presidency.

We need 2 candidates who can team up & achieve that.

“Nobody’s system promises to pay for all useful things, for all people, all the time without rationing, and using other people’s money.

Except ours.”

“Rationing” is a dirty word among both the Left and the Right in discussions of health-care delivery but some form of it, by price, waiting time, or some other means, is necessary for any scarce good or service. Health care is no different.

Right now the political machine makes the laws that keep them in power, and with that the riches. I was not wrong with my Perot vote, history has shown. Don’t be fooled.

I never said he was wrong.

He didn’t win. He didnt come close to winning. he knew he wasnt going to win. He didn’t change a thing. He helped Clinton win twice.

Calling FReepers who don’t support The Donald liberals isn’t going to change America either.

It’s true.

In 92 he pulled nearly 19% of the popular vote without winning one electoral vote - handing the election to Clinton.

No wonder Clinton called Trump & urged him to run.

Perot voters would have stayed home mostly, either way Bush loses. It’s like he decided to hand it to Clinton judging by the way he ran the campaign.

How do you know they would have stayed home.

All the Perot voters I know were jacked up to vote & not the types to stay home at all.

Clinton beat Bush by 6 or 7%. Perot pulled 18 or 19%
