Trump made a good point. He’s been open about his position on healthcare and it gets an enthusiastic response at his well attended rallies. It certainly hasn’t hurt him any in the contest.

Okay, I'm confused. So he does support an individual mandate to provide insurance?

And how is he going to ensure that "everyone" is covered? Because I have been looking for an explanation of that, and nobody seems to have one. I've been told that he doesn't support single payer, and in this thread, I've been told that he doesn't support an individual mandate. But without either an individual mandate or single payer, you cannot possibly be sure that everyone will have coverage, because there inevitably will be some people who'd rather save on premiums than pay for coverage.

Even under Obamacare, not everyone is covered.

And before you say "Medicaid", you basically don't qualify for it in a lot of states if you make more than the poverty level, yet people making that little often can't afford coverage. So how is he going to ensure that all those people are covered?

And presumably, if he has been "open about his position on healthcare", you can direct me to a link that answers those questions.

...

You’d have to look at the videos of his rallies or interviews. No, he doesn’t have a written position on healthcare like he does for immigration or gun rights. At least not yet.

I’m thrilled that the two anti-establishment candidates are leading. I don’t expect either one to be perfect, and I’ll vote for either one. I find all this infighting to be counter productive.
