President Trump gave a speech and signed an executive order on health care Thursday, casting the "Medicare for All" proposals from his Democratic rivals as harmful to seniors. His speech, which had been billed as a policy discussion, had the tone of a campaign rally. Trump spoke from The Villages, a huge retirement community in Florida outside Orlando, a deep-red part of a key swing state.
His speech was marked by cheers, standing ovations and intermittent chants of "four more years" by an audience of mostly seniors.
Trump spoke extensively about his administration's health care achievements and goals, as well as the health policy proposals of Democratic presidential candidates, which he characterized as socialism.

“ an audience of mostly seniors.”
A demographic group that turns out to vote. Smart campaign stop.
“Medicare for All” means “Crappy Medicaid for everyone but the ruling class.”
He was speaking to an audience that knows full well that “medicare for all” means extreme limits on medical care for those who have “outlived their usefulness”. It means maybe take a pill instead of expensive treatment or surgery. Prostate cancer? Sir, you are 75 years old! Have a pain pill! Need a hip replacement? Sorry, you are 65, too old to qualify. Here is your pill!
Mr President,
You sound like you really want to fix our Health Care system. If you were Serious, you would Immediately sign an Executive Order Mandating ALL Non Military Federal Employee’s, Including CONgress and the Judiciary, immediately enroll in the BEST Health Care System in the World and the United States, The Affordable Care Act, ie Obamacare
Use all the Money wasted on Inferior health Insurance Plans currently being spent for Federal Employee’s for the Wall on the Southern Border, and watch How Fast the CONgress fixes the Problems, and the Courts Back them up at every turn to get out of Obamacare.

Prostrate cancer cure is worse than the cancer. All surgeries after a certain age are very risky, esp. if you have other ailments. I’m 79 and I know what’s real an who’s making the money off seniors. They make money, you don’t get better.
Actually, I think it means “extreme limits” for everyone.
MEDICARE FOR ALL EXCEPT GRANDMA

You do know that EO’s are not royal edicts...right?
Because we all realize that eyeamok on Free Republic is a credible person to lambaste President Trump, doubting Trump’s intent and resolve and calling out Trump’s lies about Senior care which are obvious to eyeamok because Trump hasn’t unconstitutionally made Congress use 0bamacare.
Eyeamok is a genius with great knowledge far beyond President Trump.
Yeah, right.
His plan will be presented by the media as killing old people. The democrat plan WILL actually kill old people.
