Trump: “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in troubl,e and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”
Letterman: “Are people afraid of socialism?”
Trump: “Well, people are afraid of a lot of things. But it’s mostly incompetence. … How do you spend $5 billion on a website, just the creation of the site itself, and it doesn’t work? … There are things you could do to give unbelievable healthcare and a much better healthcare system. It’s a complicated topic, unfortunately.”
Trump - A twofer here. Let’s just have Scotlands health care! Oh and endorsing socialism lol!
January 18 2015
On July 31 2015, a spokesperson for Trump clarified to Forbes that he’s “never supported socialized medicine” but is for “a universal ‘market-based’ plan that would offer a range of choices.”
Basically Obamacare. Also his aide lies on Trumps behalf stating Trump has never supported socialized medicine.

Amnesty? Well, he’ll deport them, but then let the good ones back in see? To do the jobs Americans supposedly won’t do. Like work at his hotels or the properties he owns and builds on. But he’s not even clear on how to report them.
He’s just silly in a scary way. Somehow he’s suckering so many conservatives that, if you mention the facts on Trump, you get called a liar!
Well I’m just a person with a longer memory, as most conservatives should have and an attention span that lasts longer than 24 hours in a news cycle.
Sorry, but no, no lies pal, I just don’t like Koolaid.
I agree that his compliments regarding Scotland’s medical system were nutty. That’s not a system I approve of, and he hasn’t proposed that type of system for us. And thats where you guys get dishonest.
Take him to task on the Scotland comments, but give him credit for supporting a robust private sector solution to our own health care needs.
He has indicated he wants a multi payor insurance situation. He has indicated he wants to eliminate state restrictions on insurance companies ability to provide services across state lines to go nationwide. That way there will be more competition, more plans available, and lower costing policies for the public. That is a Capitalist solution. So all the handwringing is just that. You nervous dishonest Nellies get caught with your pants down, again.
Obamacare is designed to wind up single-payer, so this is not Obamacare. If you don’t know that, you aren’t equiped to discuss this issue.
Trump did praise the Canada and Scotland systems. He’s wrong on that. He hasn’t suggested our plan should be designed like those. Please provide a link to any place where he as explained what he plans for our health system in more detail, that includes anything like single payer and socialism.
He deports them, but you call that an amnesty. LOL Even you must see the asinine nature of that gem.
We had asked that these people be deported. He agrees to it. You’re upset about it. Didn’t we demand these people be sent back to the nation of their origin? Didn’t we say they could get in line there? Didn’t we say they could return? Good grief you folks are a bunch of nut cases. Honestly, this is better than I had hoped for. I expected him to simply give the a green card and let them stay. I’m glad to hear this. It means they will be vetted at the border.
I don’t see Trump as silly in a scary way. I see some folks on my side of things who aren’t happy when the get exactly what they asked for.
His private solution to Obamacare is exactly what we wanted. His illegal immigrant plans are exactly what we wanted. This you call silly and scarey. Very strange...
Attention span? What attention span. These are two things we wanted, and you can’t remember that. Then you seek to trash others because of their lack of memory? Really?
No lies? Your post was full of them. You misrepresented Trump a number of times here.
No but you don’t mind pitching the Koolaid.
I’m not buying what your selling.
You called this guy a Socialist. He’s one of the most successful Capitalists the world has seen.
You didn’t know that.
