>>News Flash: Trump is a populist, not a conservative.
He is a nationalist. There is no small government solution to health care at this point in time.
A 20 year old man who isn’t college material can’t find a good paying job with benefits. Most “free market” solutions I’ve see here require people to live without health care for a couple years while some laws get passed to require that all patients pay the same prices and laws to insure that all prices are posted, etc. Then they count on anti-trust laws being brought into play to prevent price-fixing and other collusion. Meanwhile real people are dying or going into bankruptcy to pay for insulin and such.
He has discovered that a president can’t just turn off the switch on something like health care and count on everyone doing the right thing and doing it right now.
But here’s the question — what’s the disagreement between Trump and the Freedom Caucus?
Can’t he give a little ground? They aren’t talking about cold turkey ‘cut off’ with people dying in the streets. For the most part they are insisting that Trump keep his freaking promises.
And this situation is exactly what the left counts on, every time they expand government and create more enforced dependence.
