Investor's Business Daily ^ | 3/3/2016 | Staff

Posted on 03/04/2016 4:35:36 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Health Reform: Donald Trump has finally filled in what he meant when he said seven months ago that he’d replace ObamaCare with something “terrific.” While his long-awaited plan isn’t amazing, it is worthy of some praise.

the Constitution does not grant the government the power to implement ANY health plan. Cruz is the only candidate that understands the federal government does not have the authority to do whatever it wants. Sadly, a majority of posters here on FR don’t understand that either.

Here is the IBD’s big problem: “The deeper problem with Trump’s plan, however, is one of trust. Just because Trump, or someone on his campaign, has learned to mimic the language of free-market health reformers in a position paper doesn’t mean Trump will actually follow through on any of these proposals.”

They trust the politicians who have promised us for fifty years that they would fix things, but when a guy comes along who is as pissed off as we all are at being lied to, but actually has enough money so he can do something about it without “fundraising”, the folks at IBD can’t trust him.

“No healthcare plan is better than what we have now”.......

WHAT? Apparently you DO NOT have “odumbocare”. Ask the people who MUST have such a plan and see what they say.

No healthcare plan means Obamacare in place. Really might want to re-think that statement.

We understand that much of modern American government is unconstitutional. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the FDA, the EPA, government loans to corporations, the FED, the government owning Western lands, etc. are all unconstitutional.

The problem with Ted Cruz is that, while he talks a good game, and argues a good game in a couple of court cases, his campaigns for Senate and President received funding from the very forces he claims to oppose. His main administrative claim to fame appears to be bringing John Roberts into the Bush administration and proposing him for the Supreme Court.

After Donald Trump finishes doing all the “liberal” things he has promised: build the wall, deport illegals and Syrian invaders, cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, roll back twenty years of intrusive government regulations, prosecute Hillary and her crew, release the secret 28 pages from the 9/11 report, negotiate prescription drug purchases, repeal and replace Obamacare, simplify the Tax code, repatriate $2.5 trillion in off-shore profits, stop the IRS from abridging the free speech of Christian Churches, reform the libel laws to remove the “public figure” distinctions, defund Planned Parenthood until the stop doing abortions, cleaning up the mess that is the VA, cutting waste, fraud and abuse where ever it is found, canceling Common Core and returning control of education to the States, end the assault on the Second Amendment, audit the Federal Reserve System, investigate the harmful additives in Vaccines and the coverup of studies at the CDC, and destroy the culture of Political Correctness, then we can talk about all those “conservative” issues you want to address.

Trump’s plan is almost identical to the Cruz plan save Trump does not address tort reform.

Ted said he will repeal obamacare...

free market purchases will be better than mandates.

like it or not, free market healthcare can and will be able to pay for supplementative care for the needy.

i haven’t looked at trumps plan, but anything short of free market plans will never measure up.
