Be explained be wants a mandate for preexisting conditions insurance to remain. So, there you have it
The Pre-existing mandate cannot work unless you have the individual mandate. Otherwise it is not insurance.
IOW if you are for the insurance companies being mandated to sell everyone a policy at a set price regardless of pre-existing conditions, that will not work unless everyone is required to buy insurance even if they don't want it.
It is simple economics. The insurance companies get a huge pool of healthy young people who are forced to buy insurance in order to pay out for all the people they are forced to cover under the pre-existing coverage mandate.
If you are for one, then you are for the other.
Donald Trump just spoke out of his knee jerk liberal big government mouth without thinking about how it was going to play in Peoria.
When he saw the fallout, he sent his sycophants and disciples into the media to try to pretend he didn't mean what he said.
He said it. He meant it. Deal with it.
