Is there anybody more "all over the map" on healthcare than Donald Trump?...

Trump likes the mandate.
You sound like a lot of other flaming liberals.
“That response was directly after Letterman challenged Trump’s claim that there was waste and fraud in the system.”
Most of the waste and fraud harms the Doctors and lowers their incomes due to government programs where the Doctor it hospital is left unpaid and have to cover it.
I see a somewhat misguided look at the overall quality of European health care but not a call for price controls - more a need to let competition cull out waste because if one system allows waste and the other doesn’t, the one that doesn’t tends to thrive and grow.
Give him time he will flip flop on any issue
Or do you just think Trump is a big government, liberal crony capitalist dirtbag?

I really think that statement is covered under “are you just so blind you can not see what is going on in America, today?”
If you think that anyone who is supported by Goldman-Sacks and the rest of the cronies in the financial system are for smaller government, you are seriously deluded. Under which one of these establishment types has government ever gotten smaller?
I’m sorry, but the growth in health care costs is full of waste, made possible to a large extent by a lack of competition and no real incentive or ability for a lot of consumers to apply market considerations. I think Trump sees that as low-hanging fruit. I know I would love to have a large HSA that I could roll over along with a high-deductible plan that kicks in at the upper limit of my HSA. Instead, Obamacare trimmed my HSA contibutions down, and I can’t roll it over.
They also had to pay for a lot more education than most. They have to put in more hours working than most. Comparing their house to yours is pure communism, comrade.
How does he solve “charge too much” without price controls?
Let competition and market forces drive that. Forces largely absent in the present system.
“I’m sorry, but the growth in health care costs is full of waste”
It’s not going to the Doctors.
Class warfare. Even here on FR.
The reason health care costs are so high is because you and I are paying for all the care the illegals and the welfare folks are getting. Many hospitals are going bankrupt because more than half their patients are paying nothing.
I know some physicians who don’t even send out bills for some services. They know they won’t get the money from Juan Vazquez and it will cost them to process the bill. I know physicians who more than half of their patients are non-paying. It has to be pretty discouraging to work nights and weekends and know that half of what you do won’t be paid for.
Trump did not say Doctors were paid too much.
I reject the inherent premise of your question which is that Cruz is part of the establishment, which is laughable on its face.
Re: your Goldman Sachs boogie man...so when is Trump going to be asked if he’s going to divest himself of all of his holdings prior to assuming office? Because of course, to be consistent, you would insist that happens, right?
Don’t waste energy pull old articles about Trump, spend energy against Rubio. He may steal 2nd place from him. Today is last day.
BINGO! Your are just so blind you can not see what is going on in America, today.
And better looking wives.
Now, cue the trumpeters turning this statement back to Cruz without even remotely trying to counter anything I said in 3....2....1....
Read your number ten.
And once again, apply the context I mentioned. Something that for some strange reason you refuse to do.
