Yes, Trump seems to be learning - something I think he’s good at.
Healthcare itself is none of the federal government’s constitutional business so, of course, federal guarantees (forced and coerced) “universal coverage” is patently unconstitutional.
Our country is about freedom and the American People’s freedom to choose. Within that structure and the free market economy which is freedom in action, America has had the world’s best healthcare and in a free America, the poor have been helped greatly not by government but by eleemosynary (charitable) acts and provision.
Again, a free people take care of themselves and their own better than any government can and the federal government was NEVER created nor given constitutional power to “take care of us. It was created mainly to PROTECT our freedom from invasion without and misdeeds within.
The federal government is the fox guarding the henhouse. And the chain on the fox is the Constitution. Take the chain off and the guardian becomes the devourer.
Of course, I read that plan, and I don't think it was actually written by Trump himself. I suspect it was written by one of his policy guys who was aware of the criticism. Which is perfectly fine, btw.
But the test is whether Trump is actually going to stick to this on the campaign trail, or whether he goes right back to talking about universal coverage and pre-existing conditions when challenged.
