Trump literally said he wants everyone to have healthcare and when asked who would pay for it, he said “the government”.
How the F does that not equate to government healthcare???
We’ve had ‘government healthcare’ since 1965.
Right now, the majority of those taking advantage of govt healthcare (Medicaid) are illegals.
Once illegals deport, our Medicaid rolls will greatly decrease. Our true indigent, American citizens (elderly, homeless, etc) will be the remaining Medicaid recipients.
Everyone else will have the freedom to buy which ever health insurance best suits them...even the ability to shop across state lines.
So you conveniently haven’t heard him talk about Eliminating Obama care? You haven’t heard him talking about working with hospitals and doctors? you haven’t heard him talk about helping those who have no where else to turn...those “Dying in the streets?” You also haven’t heard about insurance across state lines and allowing a competitive market and not single payer? My oh my how selective your ear is. You only hear hat you want to hear.
Sorry to say but we, as a nation, have become so illiterate as to not be able to read for ourselves. The net is replete with political memes all subject to cut and paste - truly disgusting.
Not that this would do any good, but here goes: Trump wants private insurance for virtually everyone, with the ability to be competitive across state lines. There, you got that? (No I didn't think so.) For the indigent you have government insurance - which we have now but is poorly run - so it needs a better, more cost efficient system.
What has happened in this translation is that the political pukes, the PACs and the media have lied about this description.
Moreover, Trump's comments about Canada and such is that Canada negotiates the cost of prescription drugs while we pay full price under medicare and medicaid. This costs us billions. This single payer crap and government health insurance for all is a lie. Pure and simple. Trump ain't for it.
