Don’t worry, you’ll get 20 emails explaining why when Trump says it it’s really conservative.
I didn’t see “everybody’s GOT to be covered.” I saw “everybody’s GOING to be covered.” Which was what we had before Obamacare. And yeah, given that Zero has destroyed the insurance companies, the hospitals are the last place to effect change.
Bull Poo. Hotair living down to its name.
Single-payer...by 2020. Just start getting used to the idea....there’s nothing left in the magic bag for the mystic Houdinis.
My plan for Obamacare:
The law is unconstitutional and outside the scope of appropriate FedGov actions. Repeal it, and replace it with individual freedom. Hospitals are still required to provide emergency care, so the uninsured are not going to die. They will just not be able to clog our medical system with frivolous demands. I’d like to get rid of some preexisting conditions on medical insurance while we’re at it, and we’d be far better off with that one step than we are under the thump of Obamacare. For example, we should allow health insurance companies and plans to cross state lines. Liberals hate freedom, but it’s much better for decent people than the slavery they want to impose.
When are these people going to start demanding detailed, bullet listed, hard details from the rest of the candidates? I’d be interested to see how many hard lines they would take at this point in their campaigns.
No. We want government out of the way in healthcare.
Your single-payer slip is showing again, The Donald.
Everybody’s been covered forever but it cost the hospitals a fortune. I knew a gov’t employe who made about e0k a yr yet took her kids to the emergency room for treatment because she managed to get it free.
Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away. If he’s talking about a safety net, I can probably live with that.
There is absolutely no reason you can’t keep your plan, assuming he’s talking about competition across state lines, promotion of Medicare Advantage, and expansion of HSAs. If you do these 3 things, you in fact CAN keep your current coverage. This is not rocket science. It only becomes an unkeepable promise when big government gets their mitts on it.
The translation is exactly the same as when Romney deployed that particular phrase:
"I can do socialism better than Obama."
You know, if I had a Lexis Nexis account, it sure would be interesting to read the same question asked by Scott Pelley back in 2009 about Obamacare.
Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people.
...
This could be a very good idea. Some hospitals have done this for years successfully, and some hospitals want to get into the insurance business to lower costs.
It sounds like Trump has been doing his homework. I’d like to hear him mention tort reform and allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines.
maybe trump doesn’t realize because he’s rich and never use it but the poor is already covered by medicare and mediaid
Ah, the imaginary mind....
Trump has stated he will repeal OBamacare and replace it with competition, he’s said that a million times.. there is nothing new in this report.
The reality is this, and it is this today, Obamacare is a disaster, you could have the government buy private cadillac plans for every poor person forced into subsidized obamacare plans to day and still cost less thanks to the draconian costs and overhead Obamacare has created.
Until the actual details of the plan are written, this is a whole lot of nonsense attacks from the usual suspects. I have more faith that Trump will put together something that makes sense than the Democrats, and since the Republicans have done jack to undo Obamacare, because as much as the lip service it as bad, they want it as well... its garbage... Congress could defund Obamacare in an instant, they don’t and won’t so stop the nonsense that they will do anything.. they won’t. The oligarchy wants it, so its going to live on as long as the Oligarchy is picking the president.
Soviet-style communism makes the same promise, Don.
Trump let it slip in the first debate that he believes that socialized medicine works.
The poorest 40% are already covered by the Government either through Medicaid or Medicare. The point being that a changing of Obama care will bring those numbers more in line with reality. He is right 25% of all people can not pay for any insurance or medical coverage. If we eliminate the costs associated with illegal immigrants we would be in a better position to pay for our own poor.
As an employer of thousands, I would imagine Trump has more intimate knowledge if the health care system than anyone elected or appointed in the Federal Government. They, after all do not pay for their health care. We pay for it.
Trump not only pays for his but for thousands of employees in every state and in countries around the World.
You know what I’ve seen from libs when you corner them on the huge premium/deductible increases?
“It would have been worse without the ACA”
Seriously.
This is unfair! When Obama did it, it’s bad! If Trump does the same thing, it’s good!
Stuff like this is why we desperately, desperately, desperately need one of the actual conservatives (looking at you Ted Cruz) to stop playing pattycake around with the immigration issue and really step up unambiguously on that issue and take Trump’s thunder.
If one doesn’t, we’re gonna get Trump.
