“We have always had this in our system” “No.”

It’s been federal law for as long as I can remember (and I’m in my sixties) that hospital emergency rooms could not turn away the indigent.

Do you remember something different? Health care, BTW, is not the same thing as health insurance...

Yes, but I took your use of "covering" to mean insurance coverage.

Exactly, and Trump is talking about health insurance. So, when you said: "He believes in covering those who cannot do for themselves.... We have always had this in our system.." I think it's obvious he's talking about universal healthcare (whether you are or not) - which we have not "always had this in our system."
