That’s not what he meant by “mandate”. He went on to explain that he is in favor of providers being mandated to provide care regardless of ability to pay.

But here’s something you can help spread around:

Trump just called for a boycott of Apple until they assist the FBI in unlocking the terrorists phone.

I don’t understand why TWO DEAD TERRORISTS have ANY privacy rights. EFF THAT! Unlock the damn phone. There are hackers out there who have ALREADY figured out Apple’s encryption ANYWAY. YOU KNOW APPLE HAS, they are just PRETENDING they haven’t.

Stand strong Apple, stand strong.
If trump really believes that, then he is tech illiterate and the implications of the FBI having the key.

That's not what he meant by "mandate".

See post 5.

What do you mean that's not what he meant by "mandate"?

Does he just not know what the mandate is? Honestly, that wouldn't surprise me. He offers a lot of vague answers to hide the fact that he doesn't have much depth of knowledge about a lot of subjects.

Urgent Care Clinics and ERs are required by law to treat anyone that walks in the door regardless of insurance. This was required before Obamacare. Is that the ‘mandate’ Trump is referring to? It seems to be because if it were not so, then indeed people would be left sick and dying in the streets.

I am sure Trump does not support the Obamacare individual mandate, and in fact, he has criticized Roberts for upholding Obamacare not just once, but twice. That criticism contradicts any twist in a narrative that he wants an individual mandate to purchase health insurance.

I have viewed old videos of Trump speaking before committees in Congress. There is not a shred of doubt that he has deep-deep knowledge of the workings and interplay of business, taxes, insurance and the effects of government policy. He was basically holding a seminar for the Senators present who showed openly their respect for his knowledge.

I have no doubt that Trump will solve many problems in the health insurance field without resorting to socialism or forced taxation to provide universal coverage.

The implication of this thread appears to be a hit piece because none of the claims add up to the conclusion that is reached.
