Deal breaker.
RE: Deal breaker.
For KNOWLEDGEABLE CONSERVATIVES, Trump was never the deal at all.
People only cheer him because of two things:
1) His fearlessness and his giving the proverbial finger to the PC crowd.
2) His striking a nerve about illegal immigration.
When you look at his other policy ideas, they are a mish mash of failed Democratic or RINO policies.
“The truth will out.”

My thoughts exactly. Trump had my ear on many things, but this turns me away. Fix the system through tort reform and malpractice reform. The idea that taxes should fund a universal health care system has been tried for decades and is a failing proposition. "Universal" health care and capitalism do not work together.
As astute as The Donald may be about many other aspects of the entrepreneurial agenda, his understanding of “health care” is not among them.
Health care is, first and most importantly, the duty and responsibility of the INDIVIDUAL, and “universal” government-dictated and applied methods of health services delivery cannot possibly provide this individual aspect.
First, it is not economically feasible, because the demand for ANYTHING, if it is perceived to be “free” or at relatively little cost, will explode at exponential rates, making the delivery of those goods or services necessarily subject to rationing. And when the need for rationing cannot be fully understood and shared by all, it soon breaks down into anarchy, the “gimmedats” jumping to the head of the crowd, and forcing those truly and genuinely in need to the back of the line, which, once they work their way up to the head, find there is nothing to be distributed. This is worse than no care at all, as there was the expectation of delivery, which never came.
Health care is an expensive, and as it turns out, a somewhat rare commodity, making it, in turn, a very valuable commodity. Rationing its distribution by price is then the method of allocation, those that can pay will choose the care they deem necessary to their personal well being, and others less able to pay, make an economic decision. And sometimes the decision is NOT to seek “preferred” health services, but to turn to alternative and less expensive treatments, or dispense with any treatment at all. After all, most things get better in the morning, do they not?
Education of the individual on the care and upkeep of their own personal circle (themselves and their immediate family) is an abiding need in every school curriculum in the whole WORLD, not just in any particular locality. The instruction manuals are out there, they only have to be made available to the individual user, with guidance on how to read and apply the information. These instructions go back to the very first books in the Old Testament, and have been reiterated and updated over the centuries.
For The Donald, “universal” health care, may seem to be only a service that could be hired, but for the most of us, it is a matter of engaging in providing a very large part of our own efforts to secure a state of good health.
But, but, but...
The Trump people will go nuts and say you are a Liberal if you report this...
I love being right about other candidates...
Yup!
