If Trump’s plans for health care are not socialist, there is no such thing as socialism.

I would highly recommend waiting just a bit before judging his health care plan. When speaking off the cuff, Trump does admittedly leave wide room for speculation and interpretation as to where he's going on a given subject.

However, as a part of a long campaign, he has demonstrated that he eventually gets his ideas organized into a coherent proposal. He calls a presser to announce it. He immediately publishes the full text of his idea on his website.

So far he has done this with immigration, second amendment, and tax policy. I've read each one and strongly support the first two and hesitantly support the third. But all of these issues are way more coherent and way more conservative than the wild speculation prior to their release would have had me believe.

I fully expect he will follow the same model when it comes to national security policy, healthcare, and others. This is why the currently speculation regarding "socialized healthcare" doesn't sway me. I'm going to give him a chance to put his idea in writing. I will then judge his proposal as fairly as I can.
