The real Trump healthcare plan:

Trump:...And then we have to take care of the people that can’t take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system.

Donald Trump calls for a two-pronged system (1)Those who can care for themselves, and (2) People that can't take care of themselves.

For the first: a) Personal health savings accounts, and b) Insurance purchased privately with no state boundaries.

For the second: government pay.

Because you can't "let them die in the street."

Under the old system they went to an emergency room and in the long run the Fed paid for them. Here it's just honest and above board rather than tacked onto hospital costs, and thence insurance policy costs, and thence insurance company and personal deductions from taxes owed. (Fed Pay)

Under Trump's plan we do away with the covert shenanigans and simply have the Fed foot the bill. I would support that more if they had a triage system for non-emergencies that required indigents to first go to country health clinics and be referred for actual illnesses.

Well we almost have that. Incoming pts are divided into urgent care or emergent assignments.

You Trump supporters always do such a nice job of explaining Trump’s own words to us. Like a Mommy explains to the neighbors what her 6 year old really meant. There are 3 possibilities for why Trump speaks with such ridiculous vagary and contradiction: 1) He thinks his supporters aren’t smart enough to notice, or 2) He thinks his supporters will notice but are so blind in their devotion they will take on the task of explaining away the lack of detail and consistency for him or, 3) He just isn’t that bright himself. Which do you think it is?
