It’s a distant memory now, but Donald Trump publicly supported single-payer health care. Vice President Kamala Harris did, too. Neither candidate backs the idea now. This easily accessible history didn’t stop Trump from attacking Harris on Thursday as if she still supports single-payer — with the former president arguing that it would be bad to do so.
During a rambling press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said of Harris: “She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.”
“It’s the best health care in the world,” he continued, adding: “You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”
None of this is true. Harris did previously support eliminating private health insurance in favor of enacting “Medicare for All,” or a universal health insurance program. She has since backed away from this idea. While Harris has not offered her health care plan yet, her spokesperson recently told NBC News, “The VP will not push single payer as president.”

Health care should be a right — not just a privilege for those who can afford it.— Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) August 15, 2024
I hope that means MENTAL healthcare as well. If KwikKopy Kamala wins, we will all need it!
“Rambling” is an antonym to “coherent”.
I like how they throw the word “rambling” in to make Trump look unhinged. Trump was fine and funny. The man’s mind is HUUUGE!
My wife and I are already thinking Singapore if Hairass wins. Our daughter and SiL have a place for us.
I thought they solved the problem with Ocare what the hell happened??? I thought Ocare was supposed to be affordable!!!
Healthcare is predicated on using the young and stopping them from having a future, because you are taking away their ability to get an education or building a business or buying a house or preparing for their eventual retirement. It is leaving them from having a future for themselves.
I am thinking Hungry, I have a friend who left the US and went there she LOVES IT, however if something happens to Orban all bets are off!!
Ha...everybody (except Elites) gets crappy healthcare
They want me to pay for the rapeugees gonosyphylitis he got from molesting the retard girl down the street.
If it weren’t for the 20-30 million illegals in this country we may have been able to afford socialized healthcare. However now it is impossible.
She hasn’t backed away from the idea. She hasn’t said anything.
Trump should start commercials non-stop with all the bullshit Harris has said in the past.
If she ain’t saying it now, display when she did say it.
Perez has made the Helicopter list.
I was thinking Hungary too. Maybe Argentina or Israel.

Your money will be left behind. Where to hide it? There’s $30 trillion in retirement accounts, the private ones. Guess who thinks it belongs to everyone.
My doctor of 35 years had a massive stroke, I had a hell of a time trying to find a new Dr. that would accept Medicare patients, a whole lot of Dr.’s are going with a yearly concierge fee of about 1500.00, I also have a PPO through Home Depot YET still had a horrible time finding a new Dr.!! I finally decided to just pay the concierge fee for a Dr. EVERYONE being on Medicare will be an absolute nightmare and people are to STUPID to realize, you can wait MONTHS to see a specialist, I would love to know the survival rate of cancer patients in Canada and the UK!,
What they're not telling you is that everybody will have British health care: "I'm sorry you broke your arm. The next appointment available is on October, 14th, 2043."
Or we'll have Canadian health care: "I'm sorry you broke your arm. Have you considered assisted suicide?"
What Trump is obviously saying is that she wants to give illegals healthcare. Of course this fake news outlet knows that but they want to lie to their readers and keep them ignorant.
If Harris is elected, everybody gets health care. For a little while...
We have no money in retirement accounts. We lived in Asia for 27 years and couldn’t invest in them. The only link to the former US we’d have is the $980 a month Social Security I get from jobs I worked in the 1990s. Everything else is in a cash (checking) account to minimize taxes and maximize liquidity.
So yeah, we could just take it with us without much problem.
