Looking forward to the Stormtrumpers telling us how these are now "conservative" positions and/or how Breitbart is now a GOPe website.
So the Breitbart idiots are in on it now, too?
Trump’s quoted directly right in the article as saying that for most people coverage will come through private plans. The “single payer” they are interpolating out of his comments is nothing other than the Medicaid we already have for the poor.
There’s too much money and interests in the health insurance to rock the boat.
Equalizing health insurance across state lines, and removing government barriers only guarantees cheaper healthcare costs, and allows the citizens a choice.
That CANNOT be allowed!
Healthcare is all about maximum profit. The dem and gop lobby demand it!
Think of the profits! Think of the reduction of profits that the insurancs companies will have to suffer through!!
What about the shareholders? They’ll go broke and starve!
Seesh, you need to get out from Behind those Liberal Lines.
They are affecting your hearing and cognitive abilities.
Scott Pelley: What’s your plan for Obamacare?
Donald Trump: Obamacare’s going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what’s going on with premiums where they’re up 40, 50, 55 percent.
Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?
Donald Trump: There’s many different ways, by the way. Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, “No, no, the lower 25 percent that can’t afford private. But–”
Scott Pelley: Universal health care.
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably–
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: –the government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.
OK wait a second.
I saw the comments about single-payer on another thread.
But there was also another thread in which the specific details of Trump’s tax plan were given, and they seem to call for a drop in the marginals for the highest income levels, as well as slashing capital gains taxes (also typically in mind when people talk about “taxing the rich”).
So there may be a point about Trump on health care, but it seems this article is false w.r.t. Trump’s tax plan.
He did not raise taxes on the wealthy. He lowered them from 39% to 25%.
Single payer FOR THE UNINSURED is what it says. He promoted private ownership and sale across state lines for the non-needy.
I suppose we could write irresponsible people another big check and let them buy their own.
True or not I’m still a Cruz fan. The thing I like about Donald is he forcing into play issues liberals rather keep censored. He’s enraging the right people , living rent free in their heads and driving them nuts with his polling! He’s good entertainment as well, a real showman!

He said the government was going to pay for healthcare....JUST WHO DOES HE THINK THAT IS??
Conservatives have been hoodwinked by the entire process.
I don’t buy any more of the lies our politicians say.
Sanders/Trump for 2016!
He is not hawking a single payer plan.
This is an out and out lie.
This is nothing but disinformation bull s—t.
You address it as if it was factual, no objection at all.
That makes you just as bad as the writer.
Tell me, what does dropping state lines so insurance companies can compete nationwide have to do with single payer?
Single payer means one insurance company, the government.
You are either woefully uninformed by choice, or you’re an out and out Liberal disinformation supporting dingbat.
Why the outright lies?
As for raising the taxes on “the rich”, that’s all you could come up with to trash a plan that does away with estate taxes, reduces corporate, business, middle-class, and lower wage earner’s taxes?
It simplifies the tax form. It reduces the need for the IRS.
Gosh, that sure is upsetting isn’t it.
What were the tax rates for the wealthy? What are they now?
Correction:
What were the tax rates for the wealthy? What are they now?
What are the rates now for the wealthy, and what does Trump propose?
BTW, your stormtrooper nonsense is wearing thin.
You come here and advance the Leftist lies against Trump on a Conservative forum and expect folks to sit back and watch silently?
Not what I heard.
This sounds like the same kind of crap obozo was pitching in his campaign. It appears Mr. Trump is going to ease himself out of the campaign by shooting himself in the foot, one toe at a time.
Trump supporters are racist!
Very clever! You're in good company with the MSM, D.C. professionals, Mexico, lying MSM, drug kingpins etc..
Looking sharp Mr. Liberal.
I have a big problem with his tax plan cutting more people down to zero taxes. Everyone should pay something.
LOL stand by!!!!!
Nope. Thats wrong. Trump doesn’t support Single Payer Healthcare.
Single Payer is the GOP Establishment’s plan. The Washington Republican Establishment has supported and funded for Obamacare at every turn.
Trump is 180 degrees opposite of the GOP Establishment. Trump wants to introduce competition to health care, by letting insurance companies compete across state lines.
