So much for Trump. He could have been the MAN.He is just another Statist but with the force of personality to very rapidly convert the whole country into Venezuela.
That’s not at all what Trump proposed.
All he said was that he’d have the government continue to pay for healthcare for the poor (Medicaid).
He has previously repeatedly said that he’d repeal Obamacare and have free market solutions, including competition across state lines, for the rest of us.
The outright lies being pushed here are disgusting.
Told ya...
A lot of these things, I don’t think he has thought all the way through. He figures, he’s smart, he’ll figure it out when he gets there. He’ll wing it, he’ll make a deal and it will be fine. Since he’s smarter than anyone else out there, it has to be better than what we’ve got now.
He might be right, but I’m sticking with Cruz.
Trump or Cruz no one else. All others can pound sand.
Still, his reflex is a private system. Everyone will be covered, but a private system.
He seeks the nomination for which party? He might team up with Bernie Sanders.
Time for us to finally say good bye.
Trump: The Leftist that Right-Wingers love to love.
Let him think he is ahead until it is too late for a 3rd party run, then pull the rug out.
I’ll wait until Trump publishes his official position.
Just like the Democrat Trump is.
Freepers, are you awake YET?
I would be very surprised if Trump wants government health care.
It’s over now. Trump is toast /sarc
Let’s give him a chance to explain his plan. I know he mentioned about making health care plans competitive. What a socialist idea than is.
Please show me how he's going to accomplish this. Taxes would have to be quadrupled for the middle class.
Shouldn’t this be in Breaking?
Trump the socialist?
I’m sure the Trumpettes will find a way to rationalise this away as well.
I didn’t hear it, but sounds like he’s talking about a private system but where government guarantees to pay for the poor (”Deals with hospitals”). I would say Jury’s out.
If he goes Euro style Government-run / Universal rather than mostly-private-government-subsidized-so-everyone-gets-treated, which is what we had though not formalized, then I will start to have a big problem with his candidacy. When I say ‘mostly private’ I am not referring to the sham of privacy Obama has instituted.
He’s very clear about competition and choice ... and there are market based solutions available. Think the Jury’s out, even though I’m not a fan of the sound of it.
Don’t the taxpayers pay the freight anyway? Medicare, medicaid, TriCare, VA Hosp, Emergency Room non-payment (illegals), etc..
0bamacare is about ready to self-destruct, and morph into a single payer system anyway. And that will probably happen before Jan, 2017.
I’m not a fan of single payer either, but let’s hear him out and if this is really where he wants to take us.
This surely isn’t a deal breaker. Getting control of our borders and getting rid of illegals are top priority, and trump (no pun intended) everything else. Why? Because without that we lose our culture for good, and with it anything we now cherish guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Let’s keep our eye on the ball.
This is no surprise. In his book “The America We Deserve” Trump touts single payer.
