Ann Coulter Accuses Ted Cruz of Lying About Donald Trump’s Position on Health Care – But Did He?
The Blaze ^ | February 11, 2016 | by Kate Scanlon

Posted on 02/11/2016 11:39:32 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

In an extensive Facebook rant, Coulter highlighted excerpts from debate transcripts in which Trump denied support for socialized medicine.

In both instances she referenced, Trump denied support for Obamacare, arguing that he would repeal it and replace it with "something so much better."

Asked about universal health care during an interview with 60 Minutes in September, Trump said, "I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not."

"The government's gonna pay for it," Trump replied. "But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything."

Ann Coulter lied about Romney being a conservative.

She lied!

Not sure I would take anything she has to say as valid or correct from that point forward.

The cruise MO is walking a slimy line of half truth.

You're confusing Trump (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) and some of his unscrupulous supporters with Cruz.

Hospitals need to be converted to REITs renting out real estate to doctors and nursing companies.

Bills for an operation:
Dr. Knife $2,000 = $1,500 surgical + $500 OR rental
Dr. Gas $1,200
The Lab Associates $700 = $200 lab tests + $500 imaging
Hometown Nursing Company $2,500 five days at $500/day

total $7,400

Well, Nick ol’ boy, the difference is this. Romney made money by investing in companies, and selling them off. Donald Trump made more money actually building things that last and continue to provide jobs for thousands of people. Romney wrote one book in 2010 about what he wanted to do with the country. Donald Trump started writing books about what and how he does things in 1987, and has continued writing ever since. So we know what Donald Trump wants to do, and we know how he will do it.

Over the past six months, Donald Trump has shown us how to stand up against Political Correctness, how to negotiate with people who don’t like you and WIN!, and how to run a nation-wide political campaign, essentially, showing a profit. Based on the ratings for the Republican Debates, Donald Trump has brought millions of people back into the political process. Four million Republican voters stayed home when Mitt Romney ran against Barack Obama.

So that is the differences I can think of just as I sit here waiting for my short call verticals on the SPY to make me money on this falling stock market.

Coulter reminds me of an old drag queen.

Come to think of it. She’s in her 40s, single, and only dates Democrats. So . . . .

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
Hey isn’t Ann Coulter best pals with far left lunatic Bill Maher? No surprise she’s become totally unhinged.

Coulter is right. Trump does not propose socialized medicine. The health care system will be classical economic based.

DT only does Alinsky to the right. Never his dear friends he can work with on the left.

A totally asinine statement.

“you’re not going to let people die, sitting in the middle of a street in any city in this country.”

If someone is sitting in the middle of the street, he is liable to get run over.
Not sure Health Care would be his biggest issue if his dead!LOL

Perhaps a French-style standard tariff, accepted by 97% of French doctors -> doctor visit ~$30.

How? You only get to see the doctor - he/she has no staff.

If Cruz is so different from Trump on issues, why can’t he find one he can truthfully oppose.

Cruz is a lying film-flam man.

What I’d like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state. I have a big company with thousands and thousands of employees. And if I’m negotiating in New York or in New Jersey or in California, I have like one bidder. Nobody can bid.

I would bet my bottom dollar that The Trump Organization self-insures and contracts with a company like Cigna to manage the claims. I'm not aware of any company that size that doesn't. And because of that restrictions on selling across state lines doesn't impact Trump or his company.

I read that transcript. How does Cruz’s plan differ from Trump’s?

Rush just told us how the insurance companies signed on to Obamacare because of the fortune they make. He just quoted Trump.

And Trump’s MO is saying “everything will be GREAT and YUGE” without explaining HOW. We need someone with ideas not platitudes.
