Businessman Donald Trump on Thursday said the country has to provide health care for the poor and that he’s “actually a conservative with a heart” who can work out deals with hospitals to make it happen.
“I want people taken care of in the country, okay? You can call it anything you want, but I want — including people that don’t have anything,” Mr. Trump said on “The John Fredericks Show.” about “We gotta do that.”
Mr. Fredericks, a Virginia-based radio host who has predicted that Mr. Trump will win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, had asked Mr. Trump how to reconcile his statements critical of President Obama’s health care law with past statements in which Mr. Trump was warm to the notion of universal health care coverage.
“You know, I’m a very conservative guy … number one, the people that can do it, we’re going to get them plans that are so good and we’re going to break the borders, we’re going to go [to] the private plans,” Mr. Trump said. “A lot of people had plans they loved before Obamacare came along. You probably did. I have friends that had really good plans — now they have horrible plans and they’re paying five times more for [them].

Trump kool aid drinkers to appear in ...3....2....1...
Oh, wait....they didn’t.
I’m shocked. /s
INEVITABILITY PING.
Communism in disguise!
I agree with all four of you.
No I’m sorry, I don’t agree after all.
I think he will burn hot and bright.
I think he has changed the conversation for the better.
Hot and bright? YES.
Bettered the conversation? ABSOLUTLEY
Burn for long time? No way. Just watch. It started today....
Glaringly obvious, isn't it?
But even if medical is subsidized for pre existing conditions the taxpayer money would be far less than for Obamacare which has billions of taxpayer funding.
Ending it also gets rid of a whole layer of make work government employees.
A winner as a businessman? Of course.
A winner of the nomination? The presidency? Not a chance.
Only to some of us....sadly. Speaking of which, I think Perry's proving your point by the hour as well......criticizing the main thing Trump is doing right! Neither dude is our answer!!!
Pre existing is indeed welfare, not insurance....in fact I wrote that line for a monologue by a major major conservative icon....who uses it regularly lo these 6 years later.
AND the entire universe of those people is tiny - and could be handled in a zillion ways better than Obama Care.
Well unless you own nothing and plan to own nothing getting on medical does not work out.
They pay 7 cents on a dollar?
We can’t have people forced to die on the streets though.
No. Walker is a RINO. Cruz is a true Conservative. It would be like Reagan/Bush and we don’t want to repeat progressive Republicanism after Cruz implements his conservative policy.
Cruz needs to pick another small gov Republican...Walker isn’t that.

Yet he flipped-flopped on Obama’s TPA.
You're gonna force them not to? Sounds like communism to me.
Still I do think Trump has transformed this campaign and forced the GOP to finally confront the elephant in the room. I think Cruz will wind up the big winner because of what Trump is doing.
What is the difference between Trump and Obama? Obama gives the poor a check, food stamps and a phone, Trump gives them a job and self respect.
1000 Ping.
The latest episode of “THEY SAW THE OBVIOUS!” is now online.
You were a screaming Romney backer. I think you can make allowances for one mistake.
yep, yep yep.....
